Dunno. Out of the two of us you are.
At five minutes past five it was also 05:05 on 05/05/05...
Online Comics Day will come around next year...you won't see that arrangement of numbers for another hundred years.

Ironically, I read your message at 5:55:50...according to my watch.

Oh,
And you're quite wrong about that.
5:55:55 5/5/05 will happen again...in about 12 hours.

Not on a twenty four hour clock.

Ah...but you see, it had already happened here, so your 05:05 on 05/05/05 is nothing more than a pale imitation...
And unless there's a Kiwi or someone from the far reaches of eastern Siberia, then there's nothing you can respond with, so nyer!

There should be an Online Comics Millisecond. I'm guessing it would probably get more attention.

The only thing I noticed today was that it was Operating Systems Exam Day

This is the first year since I started webcomicking I haven't commented on the occasion, and only because I'm in the middle of a storyline.

I think that's this Saturday (the 7th)...?
Holidays? Bah. I didn't even mention International Mole Day this year.

I commented on it, of course. Seeing as how my whole comic is about webcomics I couldn't very well ignore the occasion.
The boys responsible for the OCD 2004 page seem to be trying to get something going, but with the lack of publicity I doubt it'll be that much.

I don't think so. Howard Taylor tried to get something together (
right here), but it hasn't fully materialized (like Terotrous said).
I drew a
bonus comic for the event, but I doubt anyone will notice.

In another six years, we will have the luck of seeing our clocks change to:
11:11:11 on 11/11/11

Today is Ascension Day, and Liberation Day (the day the occopying German troops capitulated in 1945) in Denmark and The Netherlands. Funnily, today is also called Liberation Day in Ethiopia, but they celebrate the liberation from the Italian forces in 1941.
Also, today is Children's Day in Japan and South Korea.

Over here it's Independence Day. And I'm missing out on all the partying in order to write a few art history papers.
