The odd occurrence of Oct. 10, 2010 and why do it matter anyhow?

Somebody at church who is much less math-challenged than moi commented that 10/10/10 won't come around again for another hundred years. And that it won't happen again on Sunday for another thousand years.

Either way, I'm pretty sure I won't be here to see it happen. I'll be somewhere in eternity, but not right here, not in my present worn-out 63-year-old gray-headed, gimpy-footed, creaky-back, achy-breaky body.
