And 12x12x12 is 1728 which was a Leap Year that started on Thursday and a leap year that started on Monday too and that is really spooky.

I waited patiently to take a picture of my digital clock at 12 seconds past the 12th minute of 12 O' Clock on the twelfth month of 2012.
12/12/12 12:12:12 Am I in danger of suffering from some sort of OCD.....?

I don't want to sound like a Debbie Downer, but none of us will see it like this again. This is the last time for a long time.

You're in danger of something... why not just change the time forward a bit so you don't have to wait? Is your clock really that accurate anyways?

I can set my camera to take a picture at a predetermined time, so I'm going to shoot my atomic clock. I can also sync my camera clock to the atomic clock. If I miss it I can change the time zone on the clock and try again in an hour.

Blasphemer!! That's a little harsh.

You're in the wrong timezone. 12/12/12 12:12:12 Clearly this has to be done in pacific islands, with a timezone of 12 hrs offset from GMT.Fundamentalism - the anti-American, anti-Christian branch of American Christianity
