Something significant happened not once, but two times on July 8, 1990. And (as of that date) it will not happen again for almost 1,000 more years.
What was it?

HINT: It has to do with numbers. Hope I didn't just blow it right there. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Boy, that was sure fast. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon15.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon15.gif

Yup, when the time and date were shown together, you would get "12:34:56 7-8-90".

I thought of this while I was in bed last night, thinking that I ought to post it on CPF in the Cafe. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Won't be 1000 years; 2090 will work. Also, 01:23:45 6-7-89 will be good too, and nearly as good will be 09-8-76 5:43:21. That one is only 72 years away. It's possible that some of the members here will be around to see it. Not me though, I hope. That's perhaps a little too long to hang around.
