Sorry Touhy but I consider that to be a very strange question and one whose answer should be patently obvious if you think about it.
today was Sunday October 10th 2010 (all day too) or commonly expressed as 10.10.10 which is simply a combination of values for day of the month day the month itself and the last two digits of the year that only happens every 100 years with 10s (the last one was 10th October 1910 the next October 10th 2110 (Note that it doesn't matter if the first 10 is the day in the month as I was used to in the UK or the month itself the usual US usage.
Hence the infamous religious warfare day that devstated New York to me as a UK educated bloke was on11/9/01 but to you of course it was 9/11/01
In addition next year we will have 11.11.11 and the year after 12.12.12 but ten is a nice round decimal number hence the highlighting of 10,10.10 this year.
My posting was also to celebrate that I remembered in time this morning to take a screensho at exactly 10 seconds after 10.10AM hence the full date and time was 10.10.10.10.10.10.10 which to my simple mind was very satisfying and neat.
That is what this is all about!
Feel better now??
