[pyrnet] [OT] Historic moment in time

[Julie Johnston <raven4luck@adelphia.net>]

At 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 bells, but
at that precise time, on that specific date, something will 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.
It is an event which has happened only 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 --- 10.01am on
January 10, 1001.

And because the clock only goes up to 23.59, it is something that will
never happen again
