as Leigh Anne pointed out indirectly, the Brits use the DDMMYYYY format. so a Brit list would come up with different results than would a Yank list.
Hey, Leigh Anne, up in Canada you folks are half Frenchie. How do the Frogs do it?

In this case, the numbers are palindromic because--using the MMDDYYYY format-- 10-02-2001 is the same when read either direction. Using MM-D-YY, today is 10-2-01, which is also palindromic. There is no importance whatsoever, it's just a numeric oddity depending on which date format you use. A coworker mentioned it this morning and we've just been discussing it. It's completely useless information, but interesting nonetheless. However, it's *really* off-topic so I suppose I should get back on-topic.

When was the last date where this occurred? Here at work we think it was 08-31-1380. When will the next one be? :-) Sorry for the OT post, I just thought this was amusing.
