Cool and Useless

People I love forward me a lot of crap I don’t need to read — e-mails like one I received last week that told me how much the world loved me, and that if I didn’t forward the message to 20 of my closest friends, I would suffer a horrible fate.

Every once in a while, though, I get something that’s as cool as it is useless, like today:

On Wednesday of this week, at two minutes and three seconds after 1:00 in the morning, the time and date will be 01:02:03 04/05/06! That won’t ever happen again… ever. You may now return to your “normal?) life.

EDIT: A reader just pointed out that this happens every 100 years. Dang. Well, for most of us that means it’ll only happen once in our lifetime, and this is it. Still cool, just not as cool.
