Hm. We had one 2-digit date earlier this month, previous ones in 2020, 2002 and 2000, and before that... 1999, 1919, 1911, 1888, 1818, 1811, etc.

1-digit ones way back on 1111/11/11, 1111/1/1, 999/9/9, etc. Future ones in 2222, 3333, etc., and then a 11,111 year gap from 11111 to 22222.

Did I miss any? I’m going back to sleep now.

I was looking for a way to celebrate, so I opened by Bible and counted how many books had 22nd chapters... and there were 22! I geeked out a bit.

So this morning at 2:22:22am I did a tweet thread where I posted the 22nd verse of each chapter 22 and added a sentence or two of commentary.

Edit: Some of those chapters didn't have 22 verses, in which cases I used the 2nd verse.

Here it is, if you're into that sort of thing: https://twitter.com/PatrickDobson/status/1496022538580897793

It is sad that world doesn't agree on using ISO dates everywhere. But 2022-02-22 wouldn't be a palindrome ...
