12/12/12

People plan their wedding date, first date, and birth of their baby around numerical coincidence. 

Musicians sell out concerts that play on repeating numerical dates. 

We "make a wish" when the clock hits 11:11. 

Websites and numerologists for tell good fortune when the date lines up with the time of day. 

For instance, in 2009 the clock and date lined up to give us 12:34:56 on 7/8/9. 

Tomorrow will mark the last time most of us alive today will see the date in a repeating format. 
Tomorrow is 12/12/12 and numerical coincidence that will not happen again until 01/01/2101.

This may not seem too significant to the general population, however number nerds (myself included) enjoy the mathematical fun the date can provide. If you look long enough you can find the calendar date that is equal to Pi (March 14, 2015 or 3/14/15).  Some may even go further to find out the square root of 2 day (January 14, 2042 or 14/1/42).  Whether you love numbers or just love saying 12/12/12, remember that this is the last time for this coincidence for the next 89 years!
