well, sure 02:03:04 05/06/07 will only happen once, on may 6th this year. If you are in the US and use that weird date format:rolleyes:

For the rest of us this will happen on june 5th. I cant wait!

Once in forever? What about in 100 years?

hmm good point. I didn't really think it through , just read what Randi said in the commentary, at the bottom:
"This will never happen again." ...

And of course next year we will have 03:04:05 06.07.08


Edit: to be fair it was not Randi who said it but Scot Morris

And the year and month and a bit later it will be 04:05:06 07.08.09. Mark all three dates in your calender now, then use them as conversational pieces.

Another date that will happen like this is 07:07:07 07.07.07. This is even better because it is the same date no matter where you put your day, month and year. Similar dates happen 9 times every century. Then their is always 11:11:11 11.11.11. This happens another 5 times per century. And another 4 times without the time.

Every time is once in forever.

As far as I know.
