Day 11: Dates.

Monday, January 11, 2010

In our own lives we consider certain dates special maybe because it’s our birthdate, anniversary, or wedding date. But there are also dates that we anticipate certain dates since they are somewhat symbolic. Like 08/08/08, it is believed to be a lucky day since for Chinese number 8 is lucky and in addition to that it also create an infinity sign, never ending. Even the order of numbers such as 06/07/08 and 07/08/09. These dates will not be repeated again and we should wait another century or even millenium in order to witness them again, unfortunately, we may not be alive by then.

Today, the date is quite common (or rather looks so binary *laughs*) but there’s really something special about it. Since 01/11/10 will still be 01/11/10 even if inverted. Just like MEL when written in script.

I placed a line below to indicate which was the original look.

 

In addition to that, it is also a palindrome.

Amazing isn’t it?
