[time-nuts] 81, not quite a random number

[William H. Fite]

When my son was 10 years old, he suddenly came running down the stairs
madly clanging an old dinner bell.

"What in the world are you doing?"

"Quick, dad, look at the clock"

I looked.

"Now think about the calendar."

I thought. And thought. Then it dawned on me.

The date and time was 12:34 5/6/78.
