Most of it is things talking about kernel versions and it mistakes it as a European date.

European date.

What the hell are you talking about? there is no such thing as a "European date". Not only are the standard dates long hand (Wednesday 5th January 3004) but their in completely different languages; when shorted they were all in completely different forms. in the uk for example it's common to see DD/MM/YYYY

But that is nothing to the idiotic day in the middle and date as fractions you have to put up with in the usa; 4/7 is NOT a date, 4/30/2001 is just daft.

For all of these reasons the ISO date format was created and amended a few times:

YYYY-MM-DD[THH:MM:SS[.PPPP][TMZ]]

We can't keep going around pretending it doesn't matter that we're using incompatible formats; eventually every country will just have to use iso, metric and other _standards_.

It's just the google timeline. I read http://mashable.com/2007/10/26/linux...cs-since-1910/ which showed up in the timeline, which explained the same thing. The google timeline expects strange things from numbers.
