The only horses I can beat are the ones that are already down, dead, and buried. That said, isn't there a huge amount of humanity that doesn't even use our calendar? (Jewish, Chinese)

Quebec goes with 14/8, too. Maybe that's why HydroQuebec was able to keep the lights on.

Goddess,

I am so glad that I didn't have any liquid in my mouth when I read your post. Because I would have sprayed my computer, which would not have been good, since I am at work. It would have been too hard to explain!!

Are we still waiting for nominations? Does anyone know what time the event will take place?

On the 'Live' thread, BB announced two hours till noms. That was at 10:22am, so I'd guess about 12:30pm.

Since the US is the ruler of the known world, it is 8/14.

Justin and Robert.

I'll go by Star Trek's Star Date

200308.15

Is that how they did the date on Star Trek? I never knew that. Hmmm. Maybe it should be changed to August 15 (or 15 August- I honestly don't care either way) though since the nominations weren't yesterday.

I really wish it had been Justin and Jee (I know Erika made a deal with Jee) since it would have been a hoot to watch Ali and Jun running around campaining to keep their respective boy toys.

Spunky

Friday, August 15, 2003 - 01:56 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
Someone...please... Jee or Jun... go run to Jack and tell him Ali wants him out soon...
I can't believe, here we have Jack who wants to keep Ali till the last 4 and Ali who wants to get rid of him soon..
Big miscommunication here. We'll see how long it will take for Jack to discover it...

Meanwhile, Erika really wants Robert out and not Justin because she believes she'll be up next and will be voted out with Robert still there...
How will she convince Jack that Robert has to go now??? Mmmmmm

(here is the secret for my 14/8 ..I'm French Canadian living out West.... compris???)

Oui, je compris! Je suis une Anglaise d'Angleterre, et 15/8/2003 est tres bon avec moi aussi!
It's the logical sequence, day/month/year, and it's only these illogical Americains who insist on being different from tout le monde who make it complicated!
[Pardonnez mon Francais, s'il vout plais. ]

yes Beruthiel..I live in Ontario and am English Canadian and we say 15/8 here too. I have many american relatives and it often leads to much confusion over dates.

It's confusing. Don't you know the world will never change Americans. We don't conform very easily to other systems. (think metric) It doesn't matter how everyone else does it..LOL

Americans have a hard time with the concept that ours is the one right way to do everything; we have reinforced so much by politicians and the media that we are God's gift to the world.
There is a lot of greatness to this country, I am happy for the privilege of having been born here, but we have plenty of room for improvement, and in a lot of things (metric being a prime example life ultimately would be far simpler and productivity greater if we adapted to metric) we should listen to the rest of the world more than we do.

What about driving over in the states?
we drive on the left - europe on the right
confuses the hell out of me :(
Which side do you drive on? <excluding when drunk driving>

Presuming you are from UK -- it's because of your empire that half the world drives on the left!

I'm English Canadian, from Ontario, and I use M/D format... I guess its all individual preference. My parents have been here for 30 years and they still use D/M format.

THE logical sequence, useful to computers and in math calculations is YYYYMMDD or Julian date
YYYYDDD meaning the day of that year.

Translating for humans is usually done.. and to me
15 August 2003 is probably the most understood.

Also, Y/M/D is the Chinese style and when the year is omitted, it is M/D. Everything in Chinese is big to small -- this includes other hierarchical descriptions such as street addresses -- most logical in the world. :)

Ok- I know we need more feed posters and if I had the feeds I would do the late night when all the stuff seems to happen. Thanks to all the updaters anyway.

When you say 'this country' what country are you referring to? Sorry, but not everyone is so country-centric.
