OK, here's something odd:
Today's date is a palindrome: 01 02 2010.
Next one is next year: 11 02 2011.
And those are apparently rare.... haven't happened much in the last thousand years, especially in the American style of date numbering (DD/MM/YYYY). They're more common, apparently, in the European style (MM/DD/YYYY).
After I realized this, and did a little searching, I found a nice article about it:

For repeating numbers, we'll have 10/10/10, 11/11/11, and 12/12/12 coming at us.
No, I'm not a numerologist or whathaveyou. Just a geek. Sorta like why I thought it was neat that the last date to have all odd numbers for the next THOUSAND+ years was Nov 19, 1999. Every date between now and 11/11/3111 will have an even number somewhere in the date string. (including zero as an even number).
This concludes today's geek posting.
