Today the date is 12/12/12. I am sure all of you are aware of this (unless you're on some pretty strong drugs), but have you thought about this:
This will be the last repetitive date you will ever see!
No, I don't mean because the world is going to end in 9 days time (silly Doomsayers), but you will not be alive the next time a repetitive date comes around in the year 3001.
Scary thought, huh?

Yeah, I dispute the fact that I definitely won't see itWell there's always 01/01/2101, no need to wait till 3001
Last repetitive date? Ignoring the whole issue with dates being a man made construct then today's date is actual 12-12-2012, so not even special, the next date we'll see is actually 20-12-2012

Of course, in the US they missed that boat ~800 years agoLast repetitive date? Ignoring the whole issue with dates being a man made construct then today's date is actual 12-12-2012, so not even special, the next date we'll see is actually 20-12-2012
And also there is the 11/11/2111, also a second reason not to wait til 3001.
Wouldn't that technically be the thirteenth reason?And also there is the 11/11/2111, also a second reason not to wait til 3001.
Just a thought.
... the next date we'll see is actually 20-12-2012
I've always preferred palindromic dates myself, which gives me a bit of a longer wait: 02-02-2020 is my next one, I think

Palindromes are waaaaay cooler than simple repetition.... although my bro did get a screen grab of the last binary date for the century (11/11/11 @ 11:11:11
Boss asked me twice today what the date was...
