While I'll love all the fuss around the upcoming date sequence of 01:02:03 04/05/06.

I can't help but agree with some of the comments on that latter link.

It is only the Americans who would have seen this today, for the simple reason that the US is the only one to strangely put month before day in the date sequence. Most other Western countries (the UK included) put the day before the month, so we're waiting for next month, on the Star Wars themed 4th of May.
