Regarding the date.

[curiouswombat]

This is simply an observation that today's date has something about it that none of us here are ever going to witness again. It is, of course, 12.12.12.

And there is no such date as 13.13.13 so the next date of this type with be the next time the world reaches 01.01.01.

Of course, for many of us, there is still one date with a lot in common with this one; 20.12.2012 - but the Americans on my FL won't share that one with the rest of us as you write your dates down in an illogical order!

You're assuming that nobody here will live another 89 years? Why? It's not that unreasonable, especially if someone here is in their teens or early 20s, given general improvements in longevity.

You are quite right - the youngest person on my FL whose age I know would only have to make 111 so there is a chance. But then we are also being told that her generation are likely to have a shorter lifespan than ours....
