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

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.
