I'm considering re-setting my computer's system clock to enjoy this special event a few more times before just moving on: "Nothing to see here, folks. Move on." Your post did remind me of the dozens of odometer events that I've anticipated over the years... only to notice miles later that I didn't see the actual roll over event. Short on attention span... long on comment. McD Anything that Frank Paynter and Betsy Devine think is cool is worth reading about… based upon a few hundred blog posts.

I have to say it here because Betsy's not allowing comments... what surprises me is not that I took this pretty much at face value, but that <a href="http://betsydevine.weblogger.com/2006/04/04#a2676" rel="nofollow">Betsy Devine</a>, a certified smart woman, went along with my dumbness.

My official line is that my instincts were whispering that this smelled funny, but I was too lazy to think it thru. Riight. I'm about as deep as a teacup saucer. Anyway, next auto I buy, I'm going to keep a camera (and fresh batteries) in the glovebox just so I can catch a shot like Stu's. For real, that's a keeper. Great job, Gary.

Thanks Gary! I'll slap my forehead and say "duh..." for each century. But, well, it SOUNDED true. Nobody should ever credit me with being a deep thinker. Thanks Gary!

I quoted your "millennial" comment in my blog. Just got email from Gary Farber (http://amygdalagf.blogspot.com/ ) pointing out that we'll see the same thing in 2106, 2206, 2306, etc. So what does that make this...a centurial moment?

Having just read about this on Betsy Devine's blog, I e-mailed her to point out, and then figured I might as well mention the following here. "01:02:03 04/05/06" will take place again nine more times this millenium, in 2106, 2206, 2306, etc. No? Maybe there's something I'm missing here; I must be, because I can't see how this isn't a once every one hundred years thing (it's also purely arbitrary according to just a single calender, but that also seems obvious). Anyway, apologies for missing whatever I'm missing. Hi. Having just read about this on Betsy Devine’s blog, I e-mailed her to point out, and then figured I might as well mention the following here.

Maybe there’s something I’m missing here; I must be, because I can’t see how this isn’t a once every one hundred years thing (it’s also purely arbitrary according to just a single calender, but that also seems obvious).

You must have had to pull off the road to snap it. (I did a double-take on the km/h metric too... don't see many speedometers that go up to 260 around here!) Good one Stu.
