I don't blame anyone for fooling around with alternative date formats but I do find it a bit silly, and distracting from whatever serious point they were trying to make. I can't imagine the hubris of believing anything we say or do now will matter (or even exist) 7900 years from now, and it's not going to be a problem before then-- if our date system is somehow still in use by that point!

...I think this might have been meant for another comment/thread anyway.
