For all the number geeks ...
Today is 02/02/2020 ... a palindrome because it reads the same both forward and backward. But it also reads in the same in both the MM/DD/YYYY format and the DD/MM/YYYY.
Apparently this hasn't happened in 900 years, and won't happen again for another hundred or so ... so enjoy!

Re: Happy global palindrome day
Makes me think - my best friend from childhood, her son's 50th birthday is today. Her name is Anna and is is Otto. OK - it isn't Otto, but rather Scott. But everything else is true.
And yes Rinty - best title ever.
