I'm sorry you feal this way. Honestly, I'm not too kean on today beying fibonacci day, but I still sea it as the best day.
You need threa preferably four digits to make a fibonacci sequence evident. Your examples could all be from different seaquences.

I predict the logistics of a single "This Day in the History" thread will become unmanageable in a week.

1123-5-8 would be Fibonacci day. Unfortunately that occurred 1000 years ago.

Well, Fibonacci introduced his sequence in 1202 (according to wikipedia) though the sequence itself existed earlier. Not to mention the Gregorian calendar didn't come about until the 16th century.
A better date would be Jan 1, 2358, just over 340 years away. It works whether you prefer dd/mm/yyyy or mm/dd/yyyy formats.
