OT - Another hundred years

"If numbers and dates make you happy, you might want to stay up for this one. Early tomorrow, at precisely two minutes and three seconds after 1 am, the time and date will be 01:02:03, 04/05/06. It won't do that again for 100 years. Back in early September of 1976, for one cool second it was 9/8/76, 5:43:21. And around dawn on June 6th of this year, it'll briefly be 06:06:06, 06/06/06".

Is it 100 years or 1,000? I'm getting conflicting information.

I have it on good authority that that is the day the Terminators show up.

It'll happen again next month if you fix the date format.

We can all stop that from happening if we just stare 20 minutes ahead of the clock.

Yeah, I was having trouble coming up with the right term.
