I had a conversation with someone in late November about "12/12/12": December 12, 2012. She said to the effect of "Just think: nobody today will be around for the next time this happens."
I said, "Pff, the oldest person in the world was around for 01/01/01. NINETEEN-OH-ONE. It's perfectly conceivable that a baby born tomorrow, somewhere, will be around for December 12, 2112."
My point was absolutely correct...
... but the oldest person in the world that I had referred to died a little over a week later, on December 4. She didn't actually make it to 12/12/12...
R.I.P. Charles Durning
