Today's date is quite peculiar. It's a palindrome date, that is, the group of numbers of today's date can be read the same from left to right and viceversa.
It's an uncommon phenomenon which depends on the calendar's numerical combinations. It happens three times in a decade. It will happen again next year and the following and then won't occur again until ten-year-and-a-day's time (03/02/2030).
Apart from all this, it's the 33rd day of this year and there's 333 days left to the end of it. The most supersticious people associate these kinds of dates with good luck and often choose them for special celebrations.
