Here in the Workers Utopia time has no relevance, every day is like a holiday when you are contributing to the common good comrade. Here, have some healthcare and child benefit on us, we have plenty to go around (this offer expires 24/07/06).

In the communist dreamland of Germany, we use the day.month.year and accept that month/day/year is the imperialist way of numbering a day.

And if they catch you driving 180 in Sweden you won't be driving at all for a long time or you will be paying off a 2nd morgage to pay the fine /mrgreen.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="mrgreen.gif" />

While im a big fan of the metric system and what not, how in the world is month/day/year a logical way to enumerate days?

The only way I can imagine it is that since you only have up to 12 months, a minimum of 28 days, and year has to be > 0, it kinda works from smallest number to largest. Unfortunatly, that completely ignores that a month is a larger unit than a day, and a year is a larger unit than both of the others...

Well, that and since we say things like "july 25th" instead of "25th of july", but I suppose thats completely dependant on how your language is set up.
