Today's date is 2-22-22, aka "Twosday."

 

The extremely rare date is full of opportunities for palindrome enthusiasts as well as wedding chapels, eateries, all sorts of businesses and — of course — regular people going about their (did we mention numerically extraordinary?) day.

 

Aziz Inan, a professor of electrical engineering at the University of Portland in Oregon, tells Morning Edition that it's worth celebrating however you can.

 

"These symmetric dates have what I call magic power," he says. "It's amazing how when you share, you know, you have to wait a hundred years to experience this again. ... I can't imagine it doing anything else but spread positive energy and make people have fun."

 

He points out that if you write the date in full according to the calendar system in which the day goes before the month, it comes out to 22-02-2022: another rare, eight-digit palindrome date.

 

"Such full dates do not repeat," he adds.

 

As neat as the numbers on the calendar are, they don't necessarily signify anything on their own.

 

 

It'll make for a great anniversary date.

 

2-22-22 is, unsurprisingly, a popular day for weddings.

 

Sacramento, Calif., is holding what it calls its "biggest, once-in-a-lifetime collective wedding event" at the State Capitol, in which 222 couples will tie the knot in a ceremony concluding at 2:22 p.m. local time.
