Did you know ??

That at six seconds past five minutes past four o'clock tomorrow morning a phenomenon will occur for the first time in a hundred years? and it will be a further hundred years before it occurs again.

The time and date will read: 04:05:06:07:08:09.

I won't bore you by talking in hundredths of a second as in; six hundredths of a second past five seconds past four minutes past three o'clock

The time and date will read: 03:04:05:06:07:08;09 …

Is it PIM's o'clock yet?

Someone has far too much spare time !!
