Your birthday comes around once every year, Halley's comet passes once every 75 years, but WiFi day still takes the cake as the most exclusive holiday. Happening only once on this fine day of August 2nd of 2011 and thus cementing it's position as the ruler of all holidays.

What about August 2, 2111?

Yes. Depending on the date format of course it lands on quite a few dates. Fun fact is that WiFi was actually invented in Australia, who are on the date format that would have the day being celebrated in February.

Of course this post was more of a lighthearted 'Congratulation' to an excellent technology.

February 11, 2008. 2008-02-11, in accordance with ISO standard. The real day was 3.5 years ago.
