In a year that reads the same backward as forward, Wednesday evening, 2/20/02, will bring 60 seconds of palindromic** perfection --at least for those who follow the Gregorian calendar.
Tonite, the time, day, month and year will align: 8:02 p.m., Feb. 20, 2002. Write that in military time and with numerals for the month of February and it works out to: 20:02, 02/20, 2002. In European style for the day and month it's just as balanced: 20:02, 20/02, 2002."
