Happy Odd Day!

From a mailing-list "Today is November 19th, 1999. The numerical format for today is 19-11-1999. All of the digits are odd. The next Odd day will be 1-1-3111 - which is well over a thousand years away, which we will never see. Days such as 13-4-89 have both even and odd digits, thus, it is neither odd nor even. The next even day will be 2-2-2000 - the first one since 28-8-888. So, now you have a reason to celebrate this Friday as it'll be your last odd day on Earth!!!!!!" So Slashdot wishes you a nice odd day!

...but I expect to live to see 1-1-3111. :^)

As Woody Allen said, some people try to achieve immortality through their work, others through their children. I hope to achieve immortality by not dying.

Cool, so as another poster mentioned, 11:59:59 19/11/1999 is the last odd timestamp of our lifetimes. It's also an entirely prime timestamp!

That will be one primo second to be alive!

1111 years 1 month 11 days ...

That's the number of days in the interval between
this odd day and the next one. Of course, it
falls out from the specification of an odd day
and arithmetic, (and a little luck with the
number of days this month) but it's still kind of
neat.

This is most Odd. :)

On this Odd day, here is some Odd trivia for you:

• 11 and 19 are both primes, as well as odd numbers. If 1999 is also prime, this will make this Prime Day, as well.
• The Odd Prime: 2. It is the only even prime, making it most odd. :) (From the 'fortune cookie' program)
• The total number of Odd numbers is equal to the total number of integers.
• The integers are neither Real, or Imaginary, which makes them very Odd indeed!
