Counting the Beans

 

Drudge:

 

 

Today at 5:05:05 am & pm the time will be 05:05:05 05/05/005....

05.05.005 comes only once in 1000 years and coinciding with Thursday (5th Day of the week) comes only once in 7000 yrs...

 

 

Though in some places Thursday isn’t the fifth day of the week and 5:05:05 will happen twice in several time zones around the world (once in time zones using the 24-hour time format), it is an interesting factoid, Matt. We’ll definitely put it in the Dilbert file.

This, from a man who has contempt for bloggers

You can always count on Drudge to bring the important stuff to our attention.

I wonder if he gets excited when his digital clock hit's 11:11 AM and PM?

I know I do.

It does strike me as at least little obsessive-compulsive-ish. But then again, I must admit I sort of like it when my 24-hour clock hits 0:00. We try to celebrate it nightly by sacrificing a kitten. (for any literalists out there that is called "humor") ;)

Now I find out! (And I've heard Drudge disparage bloggers many times on his Sunday evening radio show.)
