Did you notice that a couple of days ago it was 2009-08-07 06:05:04?
Well, not to worry, there are other such linear dates coming soon:
2009-10-11 12:13:14, and in the other date (and 24-hour) format:
14:13:12 11-10-09.
(And if you are American, you'll have two such dates by swapping the
10 and the 11.)

And we just had 12:34:56 07-08-09. That one won't be matched again
until 2109. Or the similar 01:23:45 06-07-08 (in 2108).
But then there will be 09:09:09 09-09-09 in just under a month from now.

That one will be more "special" in a way because the month/day will work
in the US or the rest of the world. :-)

You wouldn't believe how many emails I got earlier this year saying
"This will NEVER happen again!!!11" (even Tom's Hardware had an article
saying something to that effect).
Being the nitpicker I am, I responded to each and every one of them
telling them just when, exactly, it *would* happen again ;)

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

Well that just gets silly. The digits of Pi (and e and Sqrt(2) etc) to
any desired precision appear as decimals somewhere after each and every
second. Unless time is quantum I guess ?
What was that expression ... "Turtles all the way down".
