On the year point; the current month is May. Spore is being released around January 2008-June 2008.
Previously scheduled released date (straight from Will's mouth)- September 2007.
Number of months between Jan 08 and Sept 07; 4
Number of months between June 08 and Sept 07; 9 (the same length as an Allahdamned pregnancy, for Muhammad's sake. And that's just the distance between the PREVIOUSLY SCHEDULED, SEVERAL MONTHS AWAY DATE. Thankfully, this is the upper limit.)
Number of months between Jan 08 and May 07; 8. (The lower limit. The lower freakin limit.)
Number of months between June 08 and May 07; 13. (That's more than a year)
Computer says no! (Release date that will ensure more than 50,000 people, short of the Duke Nukem Forever fanbase that will truly give a shit by the time this is released).
