GOGOGOGOGO!! Fingers on those print-screen buttons, folks, and get ready with the champagne/tissues, ‘cos this is the last repeating date you’re ever gonna see in your life. Ever.
Whilst it’s not quite got the elegant minimalism of 11/11/11, this is still a Big Deal. Never again will you have the pleasure of glancing down at the bottom right of your screen (or top right, for you closet Mac fans out there), and see a beautiful row of identical digits. (Unless you go and manually reset the clock, of course.)
Mashable’s got a list of all the fun things you can do to celebrate this momentus day. Me? I’ll be running round the internet, screen-capping things like mad. Then hiding in my nuclear fallout shelter waiting for the apocalypse. How ’bout you good folk?

Lolympics: Day 12
damn, I missed it
Me too, I think I’ll turn the clock back and take a screenshot
Ahh.. 12:15,..
Too busy eating
I screen capped! My little sister aged 3 has a reasonable chance of seeing this again; in 88 years. I doubt I’ll live to be 106 though!
Not with your life style Eddy.
Too much time on the internet!
I was thinking more about the multiple sexual partners without protection.
Hahaha, I totally forgot about that. Don’t drop the soap…
Shit. Missed it.
Thats was epic.. … wait..whats that in the sky..??
Oh god, we’re all doooooooomed.
Nah, it’s just Zac Snyders new Superman…
Damn, missed it too. Well I guess I’ll be resorting to Plan B (not the asbo wanker) and live until the next one. Technology will get me there, I expect a new robotic body by the age of 60 please thank you.
Hang on, dont be too hasty.
It’s no 12/12/12 12:12:12 but dont forget 20/12/2012 20:12
Set the reminders now
Meh, arbitrary set of numbers rolls around into an interesting formation. Big whoop.
Life is full of coincidences; unless we can find joy in them, then life is meaningless. /depressed!
Kudos on managing to post it at the exact time.
giz uses wordpress which you can set to publish at a set time/date or edit a post to make it appear to have been posted then
Dammit. I was planning on claiming witchcraft.
I do prefer the mental image of you being told that this had to be posted precisely then and were sat there staring at the clock waiting to hit publish
Ever wondered why time and dates and astronomy are based on a system of 12?
I did, then i found out and it all seems to make perfect sense.
Granted the Decimal System makes more sense, but once you find out why 12 was originally chosen you’ll have a warm sense of satisfaction of a fact well earnt.
Duodecimal system is used for the same reason 360 degrees was used for angles (at least until degrees were replaced by radians to make calculations simpler); it’s highly divisible by lots of numbers. Is that right?
No, but it is a very good answer though, it’s much more simple than that.
Erm, is it because the Babylonians used the duodecimal system and they defined the first calendars and maths problems? If it’s not that either, then I need to start on Wikipedia.
This is what i have been told as is a theory, if you have a look at a hand, 4 fingers each finger has 3 bones, 12 in total = 4 seasons for the 4 fingers, twelve months to a year.
It was also a different way of counting on and with one hand, your thumb can touch all the Phalanges.
This is what i have been lead to believe anyway.
Guess that makes sense, and it rings a bell. Learn something new every day!
That’s just how you count on your hands in duodecimal, instead of using each finger as an integer like decimal.
its 2012…. not 12….
the last set of repeated numbers ever was 1000 years ago.
I just can’t wait until March 10th! …ahem….Mar10 Day!
Who gives? Isnt the world meant to end on the 21st?
A Smiley on your own comment, shame on you Sir.
Haha I dont know where the edit button is
Isn’t this end of the world date the mayan one? Didn’t the addition of Leap Years cause that calendar to end in May?
Oh dear god, we all died 7 months ago!
There isn’t one, but this stream of comments has really made me laugh.
Is this like the last season of Lost then? God i hope not!
dull and shit? Feels like it.
you do have a point there, i was going for unfulfilling and disappointing but why polish the turd, dull & Shit will do!
is that a poo that comes to the uk and steals our jobs?
I doubted my spelling for a minute then! Damned Homographs!!
“‘cos this is the last repeating date you’re ever gonna see in your life. Ever.”
Well, not unless you live a further 89 years
People keep telling me I won’t live to see it again. But I would only have to live until I was 104ish and you never know what science is going to do for us.
There’s always 22:22:22 on 22/2/22
I missed it at exactly 12:12:12, so I edited some elements in school on Chrome to make it read 12:12:12
It is my 18th Birthday today
Considering the oldest living person is 122 and life expectancy is ever increasing I wouldn’t be surprised if some of us reading this article live to see 01:01 on 01/01/01 (2101 obviously). Probably not me unless they figure out immortality by then.
