I was looking for a way to celebrate, so I opened by Bible and counted how many books had 22nd chapters... and there were 22! I geeked out a bit.

So this morning at 2:22:22am I did a tweet thread where I posted the 22nd verse of each chapter 22 and added a sentence or two of commentary.

Edit: Some of those chapters didn't have 22 verses, in which cases I used the 2nd verse.

Here it is, if you're into that sort of thing: https://twitter.com/PatrickDobson/status/1496022538580897793

The key moment today is clearly this, a proper palindrome:

22:02:20 22/02/2022

For most sensible countries... the US doesn't get celebrate it due the silly date format.

Edit:

Actually there is this one in ISO 8601 which is the one and true date time format:

2022-02-22T20:22:02

It is sad that world doesn't agree on using ISO dates everywhere. But 2022-02-22 wouldn't be a palindrome ...

Not to mention it's TUEsday! So there's also a homophone in there.

Hm. We had one 2-digit date earlier this month, previous ones in 2020, 2002 and 2000, and before that... 1999, 1919, 1911, 1888, 1818, 1811, etc.

1-digit ones way back on 1111/11/11, 1111/1/1, 999/9/9, etc. Future ones in 2222, 3333, etc., and then a 11,111 year gap from 11111 to 22222.

Did I miss any? I’m going back to sleep now.

Todays date (22/02/2022) is both a palindrome and an ambigram as per british date format.

"Today is the last date with only two digits until 2111/1/1."

"Today is 2022/02/22"

If you're using the same format as in the title, then that's not true due to the preceeding zeros.

Today would have been a good day for Chrome to release its 100th version.

2+2+2+2+2 = 10

10^2 = 100

And it is my son's 12th birthday today. He's my second child too since we're on the subject of Two's.

Ah. It's 22:25 in Australia. When's the next one?

[feistypharit]

Today is also my son’s 10 birthday!
