Here's your totally useless trivia for the day

5 MINUTES AND 6 SECONDS AFTER 4 A.M. , ON THE 8TH OF JULY, THIS YEAR, THE TIME AND DATE WILL BE: 04:05:06 07-08-09

THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN UNTIL THE YEAR 3009.

OK....I'll get a bunch of members together here and we'll all pitch in and give it back to you in one second increments. That way, you won't even notice it was gone.

I'm not usually up at that time of day. If I oversleep I'll just have to catch it next time around.

So next year, 05:06:07 08-09-10 won't mean anything? Gee, I wonder if Sash will be upset seeing as it's her birthday and all.

You learn a lot of useless facts by watching the discovery channel.

Yes, today I've been impressing people by telling them that dolphins shed their skin every 2 hours, while it takes humans 27 days!
