Another big date!
« on: December 12, 2012, 09:34:15 AM »
Hey everyone, it's

12-12-12
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

Interesting point about this is that, although it was only 1 yr, 1 mth and 1 day ago that it was 11-11-11, we will have to wait over 88 years and 29 days for the next date trifecta, in which time 72-88% of the earth's current 7 billion humans will have died and no longer be here to see - so - ENJOY!       :hatwave   :runyay

and that will be  01-01-01 I presume.   Might miss it, from this side, anyway.  And they're not counting on the other side.
