In less than a month the time and date will be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, using European standards for date notation.

Early the 4th of May, when the clock strikes 01:02:03, time and date will together form an ascending scale from 1 to 6, in other words time 01:02:03 and date 04/05/06.

It would be cool, though. You could keep the ticket. And later sell it on ebay. There is nothing that doesn't sell on ebay.

When I was born their was a big thing in the paper about how I was born on the 8th of the 8th 78, weighing 8 pounds 8.

Apparently that makes me special. I don't get it.


PhD Student: Research information sheet

There once was a man named Bruce
Who liked to sit on a spruce
He ate lots of chowder
And yelled at me louder:
"I'm talking to YOU, Mrs. Hughes!"

Lucky you're not ten years younger, or you would have smelt of octarine.

Tis the dreaded number.
Octavo anyone?

Edit: Isn't 8th of 8th of 8th a sourcerer? Not exactly the same pattern though.

He means the year when Spiky will be 88 years old. Sorry if you were being ironic, Kat.

I meant that not only will it be 8/8/88, but that she will also be incredibly lucky to be 110
