At 12:34 and 56 seconds on the 7th of August this year, the time and date is 12:34:56 07/08/09.
That is 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 in order in a freak of numbers.
For Americans that tend to write the month then the day, this same phenomenon happened around a month ago on the 8th July.
In 80 years time for those of us around, the same thing will happen in 2090 with the added zero on the end.
Just a bizarre combination of time and numbers.

My birthday was July 8 and lots of people told me :)
@caroline: I didn't see anything about this till this morning and thought it pretty cool. I recall one for 12:34 and 56 secs on 7/8/90 when I lived in the UK and I guess that one is even neater.
I know someone very close to me that turned
33 on 03/03/2003. I thought that was pretty cool
...and it was 1234567890 day in UNIX time earlier this year too.

@daveanddeb: That is cool.
@dr Jacobson: Thank you for your kind remarks. I have visited your site and it is full of great info. I will read some more as you have so much info on there. I'd love to see a couple wrapped around healthy travelling.
@anil: What a story. The number of seconds since 1970 has been 1234567890!!
Fantastic, and you noticed!
@glennis: Sadly I read about it and didn't notice. But I was still taken by the numeric nicety of the pattern.
