This is quite interesting, I quote:

-------------------------------

Believe it or not but 8.02pm on February 20, 2002 will be an historic moment in time. 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.
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.

Sorry! The first time it came up with the error thing so I thought it must have failed!

And anyway, I noticed a mistake! It will happen again! On the 21st of December 2112 at Twelve minutes past nine it will occur once more!

21:12 - 21/12 - 2112

Aha!

Lol, with a few corrections, that's actually a very interesting fact.
