Technically it's happend at least twice before (during the years 6 and 1006), but that really depends on conventions used for keeping dates. In European dating conventions, the times you listed would have been 01:02:03 05/04/06. This also depends on if you list the year in two digits or full. Also, depending on time conventions, it would only happen once a day if using the 24 hour time convention (since the afternoon would be 13:02:03).

Now that I've completely demolished any fun behind the post, you can spend copius amounts of time figuring out when something like that would happen in the various time and date conventions. :-p

Happens every century. Provided that dates are written as a 2-digit indicator in 2106 the same thing will happen on April 5th of that year. Same with 2206, 2306, etc. Happened in 1906, 1806, and so on as well.

If you write dates in a Euro format, it will happen next month on May 4th.
