Times and Numbers

Any child born today has a very special birthday.

During the last two decades people have commented about lots of interesting dates. Remember how a lot of people thought the year 2000 would be the end of the world?

And then there were lots of coincidental (well, they weren't really coincidences since they couldn't be avoided) number patterns on certain dates like 12/12/12  and 1/4/14.

But today, 12/13/14, is the last time for nearly a century that a date will have three consecutive numbers.

Unlike some people, I don't think there's any magical power to dates that form number patterns, but they are interesting.

And nobody is likely to forget the birthday of any kids born today.
