2/22/22 "Twosday" Recap: Including A Baby Born at 2:22

Yesterday, was 2/22/22 . . . one of those cool numbers dates that everyone goes crazy for. And even wilder, it was a Tuesday . . . or as people were calling it "TWOsday." Here's a round-up of some internet highlights:

 

 

For starters, five 2s is exceptional . . . but calling it a rare "palindrome" is a little SELECTIVE. The zero of the month (02) wasn't included, neither were the first two digits of the year . . . like they were on February 2nd of 2020, or 02/02/2020. Also, if we're not counting zeros, just three weeks ago we had 2/2/22.

 

 

"Selective" palindromes aren't that rare. There will be five-digit palindromes every day this week (today is 2/23/22) . . . and the next seven-digit palindrome will happen next March, on 3/20/2023. But the next eight-digit one is eight years away: 03/02/2030.

 

 

In any event, it was an extra special day for one family in North Carolina who welcomed a baby girl . . . not only on 2/22/22 . . . but at 2:22 A.M. She was also born in Room #2.  (It's getting borderline creepy at this point.)

 

 

 

 

They decided NOT to give her a funky name like "Tuesday," and instead went with: Judah Grace Spear. 

 (Here's a video about it. And here's another clip from the hospital.)

 

 

Also: In Sacramento, California, 222 couples participated in a wedding at the State Capitol. The ceremony started at 2:00 P.M. and concluded at 2:22 P.M.

On Google yesterday, users who typed "2/22/22" into the search bar were greeted with confetti and a sign reading "Happy Twosday 2 You!"

 

 

And for what it's worth, some people were convinced that Jesus would make his return to Earth on "TWOsday" . . . possibly signaling the end of the world. But that didn't happen.  (Of course, 2/22/22 was also National Margarita Day, so maybe he did come back, but just got distracted.)

 

 

(If you really want to dig into some nerdy 2/22/22 action, hit up this link . . . as well as this link, which notes that it's a palindrome even internationally, where a lot of people denote dates as: Day/Month/Year.)
