Palindrome Date

Cool.

Today might not seem any more special than yesterday or the day before, but it is a once-in-10,000-years event. Nov. 2, 2011, written out numerically, is 11/02/2011, which on its own makes it a very rare eight-digit palindrome date, meaning that it can be read the same way frontward and backward.

2. 10000 years?  That is an over statement.  12/02/2021 works as well.

3. 01/02/2010 was one, too.

4. As a veteran I much prefer next Friday, eleven seconds after eleven minutes after eleven o’clock on November 11th.

   I think I’ll sign an armistice of some sort, or perhaps have a beer.

   I wonder when that will happen again - the palindrome date I mean.

5. Why isn’t the word palindrome a palindrome?  The word should be emordrome or palinilap…
