What
were you doing on 8:02 PM, 2/20, 2002? ( i.e., 20:02, 20/02, 2002...only the second time
in history the time, date, and year were in perfect symmetry)I have no earthly idea.
Most likely I was on the computer.

First I registered that the 2000 Day
question was about the mystical "2's", a piece of exotica that underwhelms me.
Then I translated the numbers to Wednesday evening. I was re-reading a
pleasant fantasy cycle dealing with the Celts and reincarnation.

I was either napping or getting
ready to watch the Olympics on NBC.

You should have asked that on 2/20...now I
have to try really hard to remember what I was doing 3 days ago. I would say I was
watching the Olympics on TV while sitting on the couch with my husband!
Tracy, 24

Verifying that the MP3 of a 1989 Beastie
Boys song I had downloaded functioned properly. It did, and I was rockin.

Melodi, 19

Reading a book. I didn't realize it was an
important occasion.

well, my finace was outta town or I would
have been hangin' with him, but I was watching tv I think and getting ready for his call
at 9. What an event to remember on such a cool day. Oh well...Maybe by the time the next
one comes around, science will have found a way to keep me alive to do something cool on
it.
Stephanie, 25

Sitting in my living room with a fresh cup
of tea in hand, waiting for the Olympic programming to start on TV, talking to the love of
my life about the speed skating from the previous night.

i was sitting at home, talking on the phone
with my boyfriend. it is the second time in history it has happened, but also the last
time the time, date and year will be in perfect symmetry!

I believe I was in a bookstore with a 3 page
list and amazingly finding none of the books.

What were you doing on 8:02 PM, 2/20, 2002?
( i.e., 20:02, 20/02, 2002...only the second time in history the time, date, and year were
in perfect symmetry). Actually, I didn't even realize there was any significance until the
next day. So, I paid no attention to what I was doing. I was probably putting the kids to
bed.
Doug2, 29
Overland Park, KS USA
Watching The Billboard Top 200 on
Channel [V] and praying for world peace...also
computing a formula for palindromic timedates! It goes:
abcd y dcba
(a, b, c, d, being the digits of the time & year, y being the date)
a = 0, 1, 2
b has a quirk...
If a = 0 or 1
b = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
But if a = 2
b = 0, 1, 2, 3 ONLY
c = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
d = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
The date is only represented by a single
variable - y - because it only falls on 6 dates of the year:
10th January (10/01)
20th February (20/02)
30th March (30/03)
1st October (01/10)
11th November (11/11)
21st December (21/12)
The dates also work in the American
system, where the months precedes the day. So it'll be
0110, 0220, 0330, and so forth.
The last time this event will ever occur
will be on 19:59 21st December 9591. Then we'll have to wait till the year is 6 digits
long so that we can take the seconds into account.

I was standing in front of a
workstation in a computer lab at Gallaudet University.
My class had let out early and I was supposed to meet a friend to go out, so I was waiting
for his class to finish.

Let's see: I was paying attention to Dilly
Willy and Morpheus (a.ka. Morph, morphological)...I was taking a break from reading about
medieval history (from Constantine to Dante)...the book is called The Age of Faith From
Constantine to Dante...it is the fourth book in Will Durant's Story of Civilization (it is
50 years old)...I already read the history of the near East, the history of Greece, and
the history of Rome...that stuff is totally my bag. Ancient Greece is totally my favorite
culture...

Since when is the SECOND time more important
than the FIRST? The first occurence of this event was 10:01 a.m. on 10/10/1010 and at that
time I wasn't born yet; I was still living with my Heavenly parents, probably doing the
same thing I was at 8:02a.m. on 20/2002 - eating breakfast.
