> Believe it or not but 8.02pm on February 20 this year will be an
> historic moment in time.
>
> It will not be marked by the chiming of any clocks or the ringing of

> happen which has not occurred for 1,001 years and will never happen
> again.

> As the clock ticks over from 8.01pm on Wednesday, February 20, time
> will,for sixty seconds only, read in perfect symmetry 2002, 2002, 2002,
> or to be more precise - 20:02, 20/02, 2002.

> This historic event will never have the same poignancy as the 11th
> hour of the 11th day of the 11th month which marks Armistice Day, but it
is
> an
> event which has only ever happened once before, and is something which
> will never be repeated.
>
> The last occasion that time read in such a symmetrical pattern was
> long before the days of the digital watch and the 24-hour clock - at
> 10.01am
> on January 10, 1001.
>
> And because the clock only goes up to 23.59, it is something that will
> never happen again.

> Enjoy the moment.
