Today is Friday, November the 11th, 2011. More specifically, today is the 11th day of the 11th month of the 11th year of the 21st century. Now, don't panic, but this is the second to last triple number day in this century! The last one won't be for one year, 11 months, and 11 days (odd how that works out, innit?), on December 12, 2012. The next triple number after that won't be until January 1st, 2101.
I don't think I migrated any of the entries made on triple- or sequentially-numbered days from Carbon and Silicon v.1, so let me regale you with minutiae like I have every year since, what? '07?
Right. The first triple number in this century was, of course, 1-1-01 (January 1st, 2001).
A few of us in school called June 6th, 2006, the Devil's Day (not that we were actually in school anymore at that point, but quite well into summer holiday). Why? 6-6-06 of course! 666 said to be the "mark of the beast" (meaning Satan), it was only logical to call it that. Right. Never mind. Onwards!
(I just now looked at the clock on my computer. It read 11:11 AM, 11/11/2011. Nifty!)
Now, in terms of sequential numbers, the first such date in this century was 3 February 2001 (3-2-01) in the proper worldwide date system, 2 March 2001 in the Yankee system. A reversal of this occurred on 1 February 2003 or 2 January 2003 (1-2-03).
The nearest sequential number to our time at present, however (and the last one for most of the world for a century), will be on 11-12-2013 (11 December or 12 November 2013). Now, the Yankees get an extra sequential day on 12-13-14, because in their strange, mixed-up way of putting dates on things, they put the month first. So, the last sequential day in the US will be on 13 December 2014.
I think that's all...
