    Yup. Europeans get their Fibonacci day on 5 Aug 2013. And after the next one in the USA (August 13, 2021) there are no more.

        @neiltyson Unless we're very formal with the date for August 13, 2134. Thankfully, the fundamentals of math will be the same in the future.

        @fizzbang I'm sure we could shoehorn a lot of dates in. Calendars are arbitrary and people love to see "hidden" patterns.

        @neiltyson if you are ignoring the century, as you do in 5-8-13, the next is 1-1-2102, or 1-2-2103 if you prefer.

        @tweetcompatible no, but we're only counting the last 2 digits of the year. So 2113 it'll happen again.

        Well @neiltyson, if you are going to arbitrarily neglect significant digits, then there'd be another Fibonacci day in 2113. 5 + 8 ≠ 2013.
