Odd countdown date Saturday

    An odd countdown date will occur Saturday, when the calendar turns to 12/11/10.

    Although it is the 11th year in a row for such an occurrence, to the best of my knowledge, it won't happen again until the year 3000.

    We had the following countdown dates since the millennium began:
    12/11/10 - December 11, 2010
    11/10/09 - November 10, 2009
    10/09/08 - October 9, 2008
    09/08/07 - September 8, 2007
    08/07/06 - August 7, 2006
    07/06/05 - July 6, 2005
    06/05/04 - June 5, 2004
    05/04/03 - May 4, 2003
    04/03/02 - April 3, 2002
    03/02/01 - March 2, 2001
    02/01/00 - February 1, 2000

    Ironically, the last one before the 2000 date would have been 12/11/10 in the year 1910.

    (OK, give me a break. I'm recently divorced and have too much time on my hands)

    Well, then I plan to make Saturday an extra special day, because I'm thinking I probably won't be here for the next one.

    Wouldn't it happen again on Feb. 1, 2100?

    02/01/00

    Apparently Harley doesn't have too much time on his hands. At least not to figure out the math on this one...

    I'm still gonna party Saturday like it's 12-11-10.

    I'm still trying to figure out the irony of its occurrence in 1910.

    Hey, if it weren't for math, I'd be a meteorologist! :-\
