I just got this from one of my friends :

Just in case you wanted to know this - that tomorrow it will be, at two
minutes and three seconds after 1:00 in the morning, the time and date will
show
01:02:03 04/05/06.


That won't ever happen again in our lifetime.

In fact it will be approx. 400 generations before it happens again.
