I named the last decade the "uh-ohs." This decade gets separated into two parts (and like most decades overlap, the "uh-ohs" go on for now). First part I'm calling "The Pre-Teens" then it'll be "The Teens." And maybe the "uh-ohs" will transform even further rendering everything into the "oh shits." Time will tell. January 2 was a "magic number" (where are the ancient Mayans when we need them to keep us informed?): 01/02/2010: Backward and forward, this date is lining up as a rarity The date 01/02/2010 is a palindrome: A rare confluence of month, date and year that reads the same backward as forward. The last palindrome date was Oct. 2, 2001. But before that, more than six centuries passed since the numerals last aligned on Aug. 31, 1380. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "World News Now Discussion List" group.
