Of course, you can arbitrarily increase precision...next year there'll 
be 12:34:56.7 08-09-10, the year after 12:34:56.78 09-10-11...

It's a little cheating, though, switching digit groupings at the tens, 
and forgetting midnight allows 0 to be included before 1...what about 
00:01:02.0304050607 08-09-10?  (It's a short celebration)

:P
