In the USA, today's date is 10/10/10, but in Europe, different ordering makes it 10/10/10. Today is 101010 which is binary for "42" and we all know what that is ...

we had something interesting in our calendar couple of weeks ago; the way our Iranian calendar counts, this year is 1389. we use the same ordering that Europeans use, and today is 20/7, so about two weeks ago it was 6/7 & we had 1-9 right after each other:
1h:23m:45s 6/7/89!

of course what is really interesting is that in roman numerals 10/10/10 is XXX which stands for *CENSORED*

Oh, grow up, mak.
Just call me "geck" because "zilla" is like a last name.
