The first international palindrome day in 909 years was here … and we missed it
Photo: Getty Images Oh, dammit. Can you believe this? Yesterday while we were watching the Super Bowl halftime show, or talking about how Punxsutawney Phil should be replaced with a robot , or while we were watching Good Will Hunting with our dog just because neither of us had ever seen it before, we missed it. !
I hesitate to say this was our fault. No one can expect us to be constantly on the lookout for whether or not it is an international palindrome day . The last one happened on November 11, 1111, and we were not even born then — not nearly! How were we supposed to know that we were in the midst of another?
I feel this was, instead, everyone else’s fault . Why didn’t anyone bring it to our attention? Why didn’t I see this tweet until today? And I’ll tell you what else, the next one won’t be for 101 years, on 12/12/2121. Maybe some of you reading this will be alive to see that one, but I certainly won’t be, not even if advances in medicine allow it. No thank you. And the next one after that won’t be until 03/03/3030!
What would you have done for palindrome day, had you known you were living through it? Made a special wish? Made a palindrome-themed snack for your Super Bowl party? Said to your dog, “I gotta see about a girl” , and then gotten him two treats, in honor of the palindrome? We can only imagine it now. Damn.
