Boy to turn 12 on 12/12/12 at 12.12pm Kiam Moriya, from Birmingham Alabama, was born on December 12, 2000 12 minutes after midday, in Bronxville, New York. "It's like one minute out of a whole lifetime," Kiam told AL.com. You know, it's all 12s. Kiam was not due until later January or early February, but was seven weeks premature, making the birthday all the more remarkable. Statisticians from the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention said about four million babies were born in the US in 2000, with an average of about 11,000 per day - or about eight babies every minute. 12/12/12 is seen as somewhat of a lucky date, with lots of couples planning to marry on the day. Indian couple Brandon Pereira and Emilia D'Silva will have a traditional wedding after getting engaged on 10/10/10 and registering a legal marriage on 11/11/11. "On 12/12/12 at 12.00 in the afternoon we will be man and wife," said Ms D'Silva. She said she had declined Pereira's offer of marriage many times before he persuaded her in their 10th of year of dating, when the first lucky date was approaching. "10/10/10 was on a weekend, and we said why not do it on that date," she explained. We needed to announce it to the world. We were looking for a date for celebration.
