        A suppository of castor oil? :omg:

                  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? Signing off star date: -309693.60594241496

                        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.
