Set your digital clock for 01:02:03 on 04/05/06
WASHINGTON - Call it a coincidental sign of our digital times or a reason to stay up late and stare at the clock. Either way, early Wednesday morning the time and date will be 01-02-03-04-05-06.
At 1:02 a.m. and three seconds on Wednesday, April 5, 2006, it will be the first hour of the day, the second minute of the hour, the third second of that precious minute on the fourth month's fifth day in ... uh oh. It’s not really the sixth year.
It’s actually 2006 — only in our shorthand is it ’06.

Probably only the US enjoys this coincidence this time. In Europe they need to wait till 01:02:03 on 4th of May, 2006. In Chinese, we wait till 2006-05-04, 03:02:01. :) - Re: 01:02:03 on 04/05/06posted on 04/05/2006
不说时差,光说从习惯上讲,到了那钟点,德国人头脑中也不过是01-02-03-05-04-06。
