If we keep the American convention of writing the time hh:mm:ss and the date mm/dd/yy, we'll have 04:05:06:07:08:09 and
05:06:07:08:09:10 and so on until
09:10:11:12:13:14
Then, we have to wait until
01:02:03:04:05:[21]06
Exactly the same sequence in the picture above will reoccur at 5 minutes and 6 seconds after 4 am on the 8th of July in 2109.
Also, why not list date/time in either ascending or descending unit size? i.e. ss:mm:hh, dd/mm/yy
Then, it's 5 minutes and 4 seconds after 6 am on August 7th, 2009. 04:05:06 07/08/09
or yy/mm/dd hh:mm:ss on 10/09/08 07:06:05
or the non-American hh:mm:ss dd/mm/yy -- 04:05:06:07:08:09 at 5 minutes and 6 seconds after 4 am on the 7th August 2009.
Not to mention it happens every hour on those dates given enough time zones.
Am I mistaken? Have I been taking crazy pills? Do people think when they read?

yeah this is pretty obnoxious
Perhaps they mean that it will never happen again in our lifetimes, which is true, so for anyone who actually gives a crap, this is the only time to seize the moment.
And what I mean to say is that perhaps they mean that using our current organization of time and dates it will never happen in our respective time zone more than once in our lifetimes. Unless we travel from zone to zone in an attempt to chase time. Or something like that.
And in thinking about chasing time, I've made myself dizzy and will probably have to come back here and correct myself again because I honestly have no idea what I'm talking about.
