Happy 12/12/12!


12/12/12 is the last major numerical date using the Gregorian or Christian calendar for almost another century!  Although December 21, the Mayan calendar predicted doomsday, has been the talk of this December, December 12 is getting some attention too.  

Here are a few interesting facts about December 12, 2012 or 12/12/12:

  • At the precise second 1:21:02 a.m. the date-time combination will read the same forwards and backwards:  2012-12-12 1:21:02 = 201212-1-212102.
  • Dec. 12 has had some of the greatest artists born.  “Madame Bovary” author Gustave Flaubert (1821), Norwegian artist Edvard Munch (1863), singer Frank Sinatra (1915), abstract expressionist Helen Frankenthaler (1928), San-Jose seeking Dionne Warwick (1940), jazz drummer Tony Williams (1945).
