Happy Palindrome Day

A palindrome is a word, phrase, number or other sequence of units that can be read the same way in either direction.

Today in the United States we can celebrate a palindrome date, 01/02/2010, which reads the same forward as it does backward. Unfortunately it doesn’t work everywhere because most of the world uses a day/month/year format, whereas we stick to the month/day/year format.

Still pretty cool. Here in the U.S. it is just the second occurrence of 36 such dates this millennium. The last occurrence was on 10/02/2001, before that you would have to go back to 1380 to find one.

So Happy Palindrome Day!
