Yesterday, was 2/22/22 . . . one of those cool numbers dates that everyone goes crazy for. And even wilder, it was a Tuesday . . . or as people were calling it “TWOsday.” Here’s a round-up of some internet highlights:
For starters, five 2s is exceptional . . . but calling it a rare “palindrome” is a little SELECTIVE. The zero of the month (02) wasn’t included, neither were the first two digits of the year . . . like they were on February 2nd of 2020, or 02/02/2020. Also, if we’re not counting zeros, just three weeks ago we had 2/2/22.
“Selective” palindromes aren’t that rare. There will be five-digit palindromes every day this week (today is 2/23/22) . . . and the next seven-digit palindrome will happen next March, on 3/20/2023. But the next eight-digit one is eight years away: 03/02/2030.
In any event, it was an extra special day for one family in North Carolina who welcomed a baby girl . . . not only on 2/22/22 . . . but at 2:22 A.M. She was also born in Room #2.
