Of course, in much of the world (outside the US), today is 7/5/9, and 5/7/9 won't arrive for a couple months...

(In effort to continue the utter predictability of this thread:)

Of course, to any rationally-thinking being, today is 2009-05-07, which is meaningless.

(and to top it off)

Of course, removing yourself from our human frame of reference, today is just another rotation of the planet, arbitrarily numbered by the current resident intelligent species.

And only in one of the calendar systems adopted by that species.

And...

Next year will be Even Day on 6/8/10

or

Decaday on 10/10/10

I'm looking forward to Fibonacci Day: 5/8/13

Using the international standard for date formats that's been and gone nearly 4 years ago. 13th August 2005.

Although with a four digit year, we must admit that neither 2005 nor 2009 are fibonacci numbers. (Last one was 1597, next will be 2584.)

Fibonacci Minute at 11:23.
