Ready to think this morning?  On this date in 2002 at 8:02 P.M., an unusual circumstance occurd.  Throughout most of the world, the date is written day and then month.  The U.S. is different than most of the world.  In military time, 8:02 is 20:02.  Therefore, on 20/02 at 20:02 in 2002, a palindrome exists.  This means it is the same forwards as backwards.  I found this info on the This Day in History android app, and I do not believe any other documentation is needed.
