The date today is 05-05-05, the only date this year which looks the same in the american (mm/dd/yy), european (dd/mm/yy) and ISO 8061 (yy-mm-dd) date formats. By the way, ISO dates rule! When sorted lexicographically, ISO dates automatically are sorted chronologically.
Quick, someone invent a new Whatever-Day to sell more stuff to people on phony pretexts. Or maybe elect #-#-# as an international day for US-European-World Harmony. Thinking again, that might mean World War III beginning in 2013 and lasting until 2100, so perhaps we'd better not.
blair wishes you a happy triple3 day too :)
