Once in a Lifetime
On Wednesday of next week, at two minutes and three seconds after 1:00 in the morning, the time and date will be 01:02:03 04/05/06.

That won't ever happen again.

You may now return to your (normal ?) life.

Twice in a Lifetime?

Unless you're in a region of the world where the date is represented as day/
month/year in which case we've got to wait until the 4th of May for this
remarkable configuration to occur!

Are there any other date orders used elsewhere in the world?

As written, this occurs every 100 years. I guess the best way to describe this is to say it is once in a (typical human) lifetime.
Same goes for my favorite binary time/date of:
01:01:01 01/01/01.

Or the ISO 8601 time and date standard of year/month/day, in which case it
happened on May 6 2004, and therefore old news.. lol
