Pretty neat.

If Star Wars was a silent film:

Americans call it 9/11/01, I'd call it 11/9/01.

Hence the 'joke' "What happened on 9th of November?"

How the Queen controls the value of the euro currency.

And, how you can wank Big Ben.

This has been getting pretty viral in the last few days. The woman is so ignorant...

I like how she says it's her country, it's not hers, she hasn't done anything for it, she's an insignificant speck of worthlessness.

She's been arrested, serves the stupid cow right.

For those out there who are using contraception...

It represents the logical way of writing down a date. Days are smaller than months, months are smaller than years.

Logically you would say 'it's day 1 of month 12 in year 2011'. In the US for whatever reason they say 'in month 12 it's day 1 in 2011'.

I remember when I was at a house party we all tried to get that working but it wouldn't work, so I shouted "Fuck you!" at it and it's response was "There is no need for profranity"

How to lose $2400 in 24 seconds.

Was that the price of the camera or something?

Yeah. I thought it was pretty clever.

Neat idea.

Quite possibly the best pianist ever.

Oh dear.

Some memes are just fun.

Is that from a game? (The original one.)

I remember a game that had similar little rhythm games. It was called Rhythm Heaven or Rhythm Paradise, depending on the version. I have it for the DS, it's fun.

Its from Rhythm Paradise on Wii.

Wow. What is it, 1993?

That's because Americans when saying the date, say it like "December 3rd, 2011" as opposed to "The 3rd of December, 2011". So naturally, when shortened, it will feel only natural to write is as 12-03-11 instead of 03-12-11. Unless you get a teacher who demands you use stardate.

Only Imperial standard dating will suffice.

For those who are interested, today's (initial) date is 0926011.M3.

0: Definite Earth standard date
926: 926/1000 parts through the year
011: 011th year of the millenium
.M3: 3rd millenium A.D.

Yes, I did work that out myself. Probably killed the joke.

Can you teach me to do that? I've been reading Ravenor Returns and I'm missing the importance of 'X happened on 401.3 M3 and 402.2 M3
