Dates are wonderful

Just use this format: 41386.4926414352. You can't go wrong. ;)

It was broke, so I fixed it.

That's equal to 2013/04/22 11:49:24 (yyyy/MM/dd hh:mm:ss), right?

Depends on how you format it.... ;P

Is that a programming question? I don't know about you but the dates I have are quite enjoyable.

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.

Will Rogers never met me.

Especially in middle east. Wait...you are not talking about those dates, are you?

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

As an unformatted Double, it's beauty. It's the localized representations that suck.

Console.WriteLine("Posted on star-date: {0}", DateTime.Now.ToOADate());
Posted on star-date: 41386,8388463889

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?

That's like trying to ... wait I can't say that in the CP lounge can I?

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