01:02:03 04/05/06
By now most of the world has passed the once-in-a-century date and time sequence of "01:02:03 04/05/06". And you thought Daylight Savings Time was big news!
Yeah, right.
I think the anchor on NBC Nightly News tonight summed it up best: Perhaps it's more notable that someone thought that up in the first place...

Of course, it's entirely dependent upon the messed up way Americans write their dates. If people are looking for something like this at all, they could at least pick one with some poetry to it.

lol @ USA ;)
You need some proper dates. 04/05/2006 means 4th of May, which is still to come =]
USA is only one different i guess. :]

Yep, we're pretty inconsistent when it comes to date formats. Along with everything else.
...although I'd be amused to switch over to the French Republican Calendar (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_Republican_Calendar) for a year... :-)

We don't use the metric system either, but we do know what the hell a Quarter Pounder with Cheese is.

This is not interesting.
Hour Min Second Month Day Year How chronilogical is that?!
How about the first second of the 2nd minute of the 3rd hour of the 4th day of the 5th month of the 6th year of 2000?
BTW there is no Up North, Down South, either. The world is round... and the sun does not rise & set.

I think it really sums up the blogosphere - a good 30% of the blogs I read mentioned the fact.
