It will not be marked by the chiming of any clocks or the ringing of bells, but at that precise time, on that specific date, something will happen which has not occurred for 1,001 years and will never happen again. As the clock ticks over from 8.01pm on Wednesday, February 20, time will, for sixty seconds only, read in perfect symmetry 2002, 2002, 2002, or to be more precise - 20:02, 20/02, 2002. (But you have to read the month as do Europeans, not the more familiar US version 02/20. Still, it will read 2002 0220 2002, or 20 02 02 20 20 02 which is pretty interesting anyway. Time to buy Enron stock.) This historic event will never have the same poignancy as the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month which marks Armistice Day, but it is an event which has only ever happened once before, and is something which will never be repeated. The last occasion that time read in such a symmetrical pattern was long before the days of the digital watch and the 24-hour clock at 10.01am on January 10, 1001. And because the clock only goes up to 23.59, it is something that will never happen again. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 18 Feb 2002 17:32:14 -0500 From: "Foghorn J.

My CD-from-MP3s from this has been the one item most frequently in my CD player as I tooled around the country. It's utterly lodged in my head -- last night I had a dream in which, utterly irrelevant to everything else that was happening, a syrupy version of "Wish I Could Stay" was playing on restaurant muzak. OTOH, the hands-down best CD for high speed night highway driving was "ProjeKct Four: Live in San Francisco 1998". Wheee. - -- | jzitt@metatronpress.com http://www.metatronpress.com/jzitt | | New book: Surprise Me with Beauty: the Music of Human Systems | | http://www.metatronpress.com/nj/smwb.html | | Latest CDs: Collaborations/ All Souls http://www.mp3.com/josephzitt | | Comma: Voices of New Music Silence: the John Cage Discussion List | ------------------------------ End of ecto-digest V8 #50 *************************
