An American boy will celebrate his 12th birthday on December 12, 2012 at 12.12pm.

Kiam Moriya, from Birmingham Alabama, was born on December 12, 2000 12 minutes after midday, in Bronxville, New York.
"It's like one minute out of a whole lifetime," Kiam told AL.com. "You know, it's all 12s."
Kiam was not due until later January or early February, but was seven weeks premature, making the birthday all the more remarkable.
Statisticians from the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention said about four million babies were born in the US in 2000, with an average of about 11,000 per day – or about eight babies every minute.
12/12/12 is seen as somewhat of a lucky date, with lots of couples planning to marry on the day.
Indian couple Brandon Pereira and Emilia D'Silva will have a traditional wedding after getting engaged on 10/10/10 and registering a legal marriage on 11/11/11.
"On 12/12/12 at 12.00 in the afternoon we will be man and wife," said Ms D'Silva.
She said she had declined Pereira's offer of marriage many times before he persuaded her in their 10th of year of dating, when the first lucky date was approaching.
"10/10/10 was on a weekend, and we said why not do it on that date," she explained. "We needed to announce it to the world. We were looking for a date for celebration."

If you switch the numbers in 12, you get 21. 12/21! The end is near! This demon-child must die to save the world!
But really, good for him. Kinda neat.

Slow news day.

You don't see any news articles about me :(
The sad thing about this date is that it is the last one of this type (the 01/01/01 kind of date) we'll get to witness in our lifetime.

Yeah, but I meant we won't get the same number on all day, month and year spot.
he's the antichrist
Christ all mighty, it's a made up number. There is no such thing as time, human concept.
And given how many children are born every second, you can say with some certainty there will be someone born on any given unusual date.

I don't get what's so special about an arbitrary 11/11/11, 12/12/12, 10/11/12 shit I mean sure it'll never happen again for a thousand years but so does any other date. 13/12/12 will never happen again, and etc.

Humans love patterns, it's how we're wired. It means stuff like this appears as special to a lot of people for no real reason.

It really isn't special, but human beings seek comfort in patterns such as this.
