Cinco del Mayo. Oh, and the Dutch national day of liberation. My birthday is celebrated everywhere, dammit.

Hello young one!

My b-day is 4/20/1983 or in Europe 20/04/1983

In America 4-20 is the police code for weed, so everyone who smokes tends to get high on that day. Or as Kharn would call it....Tuesday.

:shock: WHAT? That's what it means. Are you sure. I thought it meant a boating club.

How the hell do you know about a sailing club when you live in Arizona! :)

i thought 4:20 was came from something else... not police code. I'm not sure though.

Maybe, but thats what my stoner friends tell me :D

and trust me, its practically X-mas for them
 
The Columbine shootings were motivated to use that date, because of Hitlers birthday.

However the pot smoking thing is related to anarchy against the totalitarionism of the U.S. government, hence break the law on the birth day of the most powerful dictator.

I'm not quite sure though, they smoke a lot of pot, and generally don't care why. They just like having an excuse to smoke more.
 
I found this:

It’s the time of year when the holiest of observances take place. Jews have Passover, Christians have Easter and stoners have 4/20. Why exactly this number bears a certain significance is disputed.
Rumors about the number of chemicals in THC or the police codes for marijuana violations float around. Whether or not any of them are true, 420 is an often recognized axiom when pot smokers take time to celebrate the herbal refreshment.

If every day is Tuesday, that's correct

I never got the logic behind the format mm/dd/yyyy instead of dd/mm/yyyy. It confused the hell out of me.

It is retarded, and as far as I can tell, it has no advantage.

putting the month first I mean.
 
Yeah I used to think we should put the day first, but I kept getting scolded by my teacher (around second grade I think) who said that was the wrong way! Now, as much as I may have disagreed, I'm used to using that format. Using dd/mm/yyyy seems odd to me now. :(
 
I think it's more logical to have the month first. Cause when you're talking you don't say seven, january, two thousand four. You say January eleventh, two thousand four.
Unless you DO say the month first, in which case the difference is in the way we talk more than the way we write the date.
 
Actually, in Spanish, the only language as far as I know, says the number first. Like "dos de febroro" or something. The second of February. But you can translate it to February second I suppose.

Oh yeah. I didn't even think about that, probably cause I'm a moron. I was just thinking English.

I think lots of non-English languages do it. French, Dutch and German all say the day before the month, if memory serves...not sure about French. Bah. Too lazy to remember

You could just say the seventh of January, two thousand and four
 
Yeah, but no one really says that when they're just talking in conversation. Like if you were to ask me my birthday right now, i'd say November 25th, 1984. Its just the first way to say it that comes to mind.
 
Well, here in Aus, I was always taught to say the day then the month then the year. As in the 8th of January 2004.
 
Its probably cause Americans like dumbed downed the English language. It sounds more sophisticated and linguistically correct to say the day first, then the month. We're just backwards.
