I heard this mentioned on National Pinko Radio today.
Honestly, it was the kind of thing that fascinated me when I was 12. Somehow I've lost interest in numerology (and this is a pretty weak excuse for numerology, even) since then. -------- Tom Thumb > for a nut case you rawk [04:21:15] Mebrithiel Ju'wien > Nik's bio 4tw btw [07:38:53] Graelyn > Nikolai for Dev 108!

Nope, most of the world writes the 5th April as 5/4/06, so it doesn't work.

I dont get why people keep insisting this number is significant.
Im not religious but in sweden most children get educated in religion and in the texts it states that the number of the beast is 666 BUT to protect the reader the number is printed upside down.
thus the ninth of septemper 2009 should be the time if any.
I meen there are 999 layers of hell...

Funny thing:
I somewhere heard that in Hebrew "666" is written like "www" (or was it the other way around?). The prophecy says something like "when everyone will have this mark on the forehead" (= be online) "and you can't get anything, not even food, without having this mark" (=only online stores), "then armageddon will come". Or something like that.
I don't believe it. But it was funny enough to remember.
Anyway. As long as we still have at least one real store, world's safe :D -- This game is still in beta stage |

This is because dd/mm/yy is reserved specifically for important days. If it was 4/21/06, you'd say it was April 21st when someone asked you the date, because it's just any other ordinary day. I suppose you could also say it was The 21st of April, but then you'd sound like a pompous European.
However, if the date was 7/4/06, then you'd say it was The Fourth of July, because that is an important date. In fact, it commemorates the date when America decided we weren't going to subjugate ourselves to aforementioned pompous Europeans any longer, and declare our independance from a tyrannical oppressor.
So, in short, Americans use the date format as mm/dd/yy BECAUSE WE WANT TO!

Hmm. Indeed. I suppose it's fair of me to be grateful for this wonderful language you have blessed me with. I guess my point was that I'm sick of constantly reading what a majority of those here (ie: Europeans) and other places write about Americans.
This is not a political forum, so I probably shouldn't mention the many American inventions that have improved the daily use of 'your' language. Things like the pencil, morse code, telephone, and desktop computer.
Though I am positive there is one invention that Europeans may be grateful for. The man you may just thank someday was named Garrett Morgan.

If only because the Europeans and Americans will agree on what date it is :)
So, in an arbitrary numbering system, with a baseline of an event that may or may not be historically accurate, and using a calendar that's since changed a few times anyway, some digits are sequential?
Equinoxes and solstices, these are interesting events because they are a point of significance in the rolling of the year.
I could understand writing the date as YYMMDD. That's kinda useful, because a numeric sort, also sorts into date order. And it's in sequence of 'largest unit to smallest unit.
DD:MM:YY also makes sense - smallest unit to largest unit.
MM/YY/DD just makes no sense.
I don't mind that so much, because I'm happy in the knowledge that in the US, everyone who drinks a pint of beer gets less :) -- We are recruiting

BTW, about the 666=www thing, there's anothe rinteresting comparison I found out. In barcodes, there are usually 3 bars longer than otheres. They stand for number 6. So barcodes have 666 on them. And nearly everythign is marked by barcodes, right? ZOMG IT'S THE APOCALIPSE!

It's just the measurement of it that's man made. Time exists whether we want it to or not.

Wensday April 5th of the year 2006..
At 1 am . 2 min into the hour and 3 seconds into that min..
the exact time will be..
01:02.03 04/05/06
.... food for thought..
Just like last year in May it on may 5th it was at 5:55:55 it was 5:55:55 05/05/05 won't happen again for 7000 years
actually. 50 years from now it'll be 5:55:55 05/05/55
100 it will be 5:55:55 05/05/05 (2105)
so yea.. it will happen about 140 times in these 7000 years
edit: and all this is pointless. first of all. this is all man-made, nature doesn't care what time it is. time isn't even the same in 2 different places.
oh and about america being so great. you do realise your nation is only a few hundred years old, and everything you "invented" was based on european/asian discoveries, you didn't reinvent the wheel over there.. the true americans are the indians which you slaughtered because they were in the way. way to go :/

Hmm. Indeed. I suppose it's fair of me to be grateful for this wonderful language you have blessed me with. I guess my point was that I'm sick of constantly reading what a majority of those here (ie: Europeans) and other places write about Americans.
This is not a political forum, so I probably shouldn't mention the many American inventions that have improved the daily use of 'your' language. Things like the pencil, morse code, telephone, and desktop computer.
Though I am positive there is one invention that Europeans may be grateful for. The man you may just thank someday was named Garrett Morgan.
End transmission.
Did you just say some american invented the pencil? lol, hasn't that thing been around since people stopped using stones and chizzles?
Oh btw, religion = nonsense (I'd explain and argue about it, but I'm 19, know everything and am smarter than anyone that disagrees with me =P)

Youre both wrong actually, it will be 01:02:03 06-04-05  Both going from largest to smallest, both sort excellently in various columns with earliest date first, its the only sane Date Format. __________ sigs sucks |

Laughable, seriously.
The "lead" pencil (which contains no lead) was invented in 1564 when a huge graphite (black carbon) mine was discovered in Borrowdale, Cumbria, England.
Samuel Morse, American, granted. However, he got the idea for telegraph whilst overhearing a conversation about electro magnets between two europeans on his trip back to America from England (where he lived from age 20 to complete his education).
Alexander Graham Bell, inventor of the telephone. Born in Edinburgh, Scotland.
IBM PC, introduced August (I think) 1981. I already owned my own computer by then. Sinclair zx80, then a zx81. Interestingly the US was actually, compared with Europe, a slow adopter of home computers, favouring gaming consoles.

erm....
in the uk its 05/04/06 so we will have to wait for 4th May 2006 to get 01:02.03 04/05/06. Still thanks for the heads up on that. if i am awake I will take a photo of my clock and post it here - lol.
Still there is no problem with 06/06/06 as someone else posted - its the same everywhere and so might indeed be an important date of DOOM

Buddhist currently live in the year 2549 whereas the Moslim community at this time live somewhere around 1250. Dunno what startdate the Chinese use but they should be somewhere around the year 4000 and the Jewish calander is at what 6000 ?
Anyway...

This is why I keep telling conspiracy theorists that globalization will never happen. Then again, it'll probably end up like "yeah well, sector 7 invented the sound cannon!" "You dumb sod, that was invented by sector 4, you pansies just modulated the vibrations to cause a bloody nose!" "Actually, it was invented in sector 2, sector 4 just painted it silver, and sector 7 forgot to put the regulator on it!"

Bleh, don't let facts get in the way of his story
I owned a zx80 and 81 too. That was a loooong time ago.
First computer? Take you pick 1939: Dr. John V. Atanasoff and his assistant Clifford Berry build the first electronic digital computer. Their machine, the Atanasoff-Berry-Computer (ABC) provided the foundation for the advances in electronic digital computers. 1941, Konrad Zuse (recently deceased in January of 1996), from Germany, introduced the first programmable computer designed to solve complex engineering equations. This machine, called the Z3, was also the first to work on the binary system instead of the decimal system. 1943: British mathematician Alan Turing developped a hypothetical device, the Turing machine which would be designed to perform logical operation and could read and write. It would presage programmable computers. He also used vacuum technology to build British Colossus, a machine used to counteract the German code scrambling device, Enigma. 1944: Howard Aiken, in collaboration with engineers from IBM, constructed a large automatic digital sequence-controlled computer called the Harvard Mark I. This computer could handle all four arithmetic opreations, and had special built-in programs for logarithms and trigonometric functions.

Originally by: phredrik I have no idea about cell phones But it was my understanding that what became the internet started in America. is that wrong ?
The network itself started out of US military institutions but the idea of having linked webpages (or, the semantic web) made up in a simple formatting language (html) was the product of an engineer at the European CERN facility, Mr. Tim Berners-Lee. It replaced Gopher (little to no formatting, really just links in a row) even before it really started.
So what we call the internet today is the product of international cooperation and research rather then a pure US invention. The US can have the credit for actually starting to build the network and for it's decentralized design though. On the other hand, if the US didn't start it off it would have been a matter of time before someone else did since there were research facilities and universities linked together here in Europe before the internet came along already.

I wasn't going to get involved in all this over-patriotism in the forums, but why did the United States open up another front of the war on a different continent to fight the good ol' national socialists then? Britain said hey we can't do it alone, and the US said, well ****, them Germans arn't going to be real nice with us if they win anyhow.. Hey Canada, want to come scale a mountain or two on this here beach we plan on invadin'? The fact is that WW2 was won through several countries acting cooperatively, but without the United States France would not exist (Which is perfectly okay, because the US would probably have had a much harder time winning our revolutionary war if it wern't for France). I have a hard time guessing what would have happened to Britain, but personally I don't think they would've gone down as easy. Someone stated above that Russia was the end of the Na zi's, well, thats only half true I'm afraid. Germany would've won in a war against Russia easy, but the Russians put so many men on the field, and because they were so fiercely loyal to the Motherland, they distracted Germany.

Well than if you want to look at it like that, Adolf himself deserves the most credit. If he wasn't a crystal-meth addict and obsessed with enslaving the Russians, his generals probably couldv'e finished that front earlier and focused on the Western side.
