    Dates are really wonderful until you get into date-time formats, time-zones and localization and formatted strings

    I find that they block you up a bit if you eat to many.

      I've heard that a tablespoon of castor oil will clear that up for you.

                          That is rather unorthodox approach to dating. It may be a cliché, but why don't you try with something easier, like favorite movie? Instead of favorite date/time format?

                            Previously working with SAS and Windows I had great(not) fun with dates as SAS starts its counting in 1960. So for every SAS data you had to apply a weighting to bring it into line with a Windows generated date. Why can't we just have a star date like Catpain[sic] Kirk has?

                                And the only format you can safely used around me. I might harm you if you use any other format.

                                      Or when you have to randomize dates and times to reflect real world scenarios, like a car's time in a parkade.
