Did anything of significance occur on 08/03/1922? Just wondering.

The same date is on my firewall, a new firewall that I downloaded just yesterday.

Yup, but I'm not sure why it's the same in my firewall as well.

I'm not quite sure what you mean. I read "080322" as 2008-03-22.

I must have not noticed it before, its the ISO 8601 date convention. Confused me because all the other dates used on the NOAA site seem to have the year last.

ISO date convention? You've got to be kidding. They want to standardize everything, don't they?

RESIST THE NEW WORLD ORDER !!!!!!!!!

3-22-08 is how I'm going to write it until they pry my cold dead fingers from around my pen.
