[time-nuts] Yesterday was the first palindromic date for 909 years

[Bill Slade]

At the time, the year 1111 would have been written as MCXI, so no palindrome would have been possible! 😉

I think not.  If my quick check is correct, there are 29 palandromic
dates in "UK" format for 20xx years, but only 12 "US" dates.  It does
"suck" in the 22xx years, when there are 12 more "US" palandromic dates
but of course no "UK" ones.  It then "sucks" for both formats until
10-03-3001 when the next "UK" one occurs.
