Once in 7000 years (from ATSNN)

The fifth day of the week (thursday) falling on the 5th of May in a 005 year is a once in 7000 year occurance.



I know this is probably trivial...HOWEVER, it MUST mean something. Maybe some celestial re-alignment, maybe some event of historic significance, maybe a geo-societal conscience shift, maybe just a good time to have a beer ...

Interesting, but probably better suited for BTS

Seeing as how this is a result of human abritrary calendar creation that is less than 7000 years old, I doubt this is of any celestial significance.

I don't know; I kind of like the 'good time to have a beer' hypothesis.

So this would be the first time.

Well all my emule dls actually completed when I woke up so there must be a good flow of juice right there

actually, for those of us that don't use military time, it will happen twice today.

big whoop

Really can't understand the revelance on this suggested thread. tomorrow's tomorrow too.

A mathematical coincedence. Still fun though.

I always like to stop and consider the moment when my car rolls over
to 100000.0 miles. Nothing "special" has ever happened but all those
zero's must mean something.

and to think next year we'll have 06-06-06

and the year after that 07-07-07

"OMG THE CALENDAR HAS DATES!!!"

I'm looking forward to March 14th, 15926. Or, at least, Marth 14th, 2159.

(pi day)

Actually, ever since a few days ago, the time to look forward to (and fear) is 6:01:06 PM on June 1, 2006.

Well, that's been the day to fear forever, you just didn't know it until yesterday.

Although I bet we're lucky we don't have 616 day in a year. We ever go to Mars, though, we're doomed...

Where on planet Earth is Sunday the first day of the week?

Most places I know...I know it's not in France.

What!!! Isn't there supposed to be a God who created the world in six days, and then rested on the seventh day, which is why, in imitation of this God, we, too, rest on the seventh and last day of the week?!?!?!?! According to this myth, fable or legend, resting on the first day would make no sense whatsoever. In the languages that sprang from the common Latin stock the name for that seventh, resting, day --"domingo", "doménica", "dimanche"-- means "the day of the Lord", "domini" being "lord" in Latin, as in "Initium sapientiae timor Domini".
So we begin our weeks with the first of the working days, Monday, and go to work. You all sound like aliens with a poor knowledge of our Terran ways. What's going on here?!?!!
