When specifying today's date with ISO format (20011002, see
date formats) or American "short format" (10022001), today's date is actually a
palindrome.
This is happening for the first time since December 31, 1321 (13211231/12311321). The next time is January 2, 2010 (20100102/01022010).*
(Yes, I have too much time on my hands...)
