Re: Todays date...
It meant it was my birthday, been waiting for this one to roll around since I was a wee fellow. There was even a chance of baby number three sharing it but we still wait for the baby, 2 weeks till it is due. It was a cool date for a birthday. Next year my Nephew has 12/12/12 for his 6th birthday.
