Sucking the fun out of the date
Today is 10-10-10. And here’s what I think: So what? Time recorded in this way is just a construct, dating back only about 425 years.
Here’s further proof: The Los Angeles Times has crafted “10 Entertainment lists for 10-10-10.” Here they are, each more meaningless than the one before. Somehow or other, Gary Coleman is one of the most noteworthy celebrity deaths of 2010, while Patrick Starfish is the is #2 in the “Top 10 sidekicks of all time.”
I know it’s all in fun. But today’s date isn’t important. Really. And acting like it is puts you on a par with astrologers.
