Today's is one of those dates that seem like it should be meaningful: it's a palindrome. If you use some fonts, an
ambigrammic number, too!
It works also both for the weird American way of sequencing dates and the more rational one which goes from largest unit to smallest.
It's just a concatenation of contingencies, of course, but I don't think there'll be another one of these days for, well, a very very long time.
