Someone on IRC (in a chat room) mentioned this when it 'happened' last month. I pointed out to them that it was a British room and he claimed that 'most' of the world uses mm/dd/yy format. This obviously isn't interesting in itself, but it did cause me to find this rather interesting image.

That's probably the strongest argument against living in Canada I've ever seen.

Surely this is counter-balanced by the increased Larsen-proximity?

It was much more fun on 12:34:56, 7/8/90. I'm assuming anyway...I'll maybe report back later and confirm this.

Actually, it was yesterday wasn't it? Yes, it was much more fun. I was probably in a German lesson in 1990, yesterday I was somewhere in Ayrshire.

Ah yes, 1990. I was merely 18 months old and Emma would have been on this Earth for just 3 weeks. Hence we probably weren't in a German lesson but you never know...

Just noticed I probably should've put this thread in Off-Topic.
