Once in a lifetime

posted by Alice in at 9:44 AM NYC Time

According to the Bwog, the dean of Columbia's School of Engineering and Applied Science, Zvi Galil, sent out the following e-mail to engineering students:

Hi All,

I thought you would like to know that early wednesday morning, shortly
after 1AM
the time and date at that very second will be:

01:02:03 04/05/06

I hope you will be be up at that time to mark the occasion of a
lifetime.

Dean Galil

I'm psyched!

And then you can decide to switch to DD-MM-YY like the whole rest of the world, and you get it again on May 4th!

...I picture the Columbia trustees leaving a meeting with Zvi and saying, "Man is that guy nuts... I can't believe you hired him!" And another trustee says, "I thought YOU hired him!?" And soon everybody's saying "Wait, are you telling me nobody here knows who hired him?" And it turns out he's an escaped mental patient who has never even been on salary, just showed up every day and said crazy things.
