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. From Message 4,

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?

Re: 12/12/12/ 12:12:12
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. I'm so excited.

Blasphemer!! That's a little harsh.
It's synched with an atomic clock in Oxford (or somewhere) The TRUE atomic clock is in Boulder, Colorado.

Most Accurate Clock In The World Ever
The TRUE atomic clock is in Boulder, Colorado. Pah!!!
quote:
An atomic clock at the UK's National Physical Laboratory (NPL) has the best long-term accuracy of any in the world, research has found. Studies of the clock's performance, to be published in the journal Metrologia, show it is nearly twice as accurate as previously thought. The clock would lose or gain less than a second in some 138 million years. The UK is among the handful of nations providing a "standard second" that keeps the world on time. However, the international race for higher accuracy is always on, meaning the record may not stand for long.

You're in the wrong timezone. Clearly this has to be done in pacific islands, with a timezone of 12 hrs offset from GMT.
