PULHES?

Only Alcy might get this one.

Today is Singles' Day in China.  I take it singles are either supposed to mope or else go out and have casual sex with one another.

My PULHES is 111111.

Suck that, fags!

It's the independence day in Poland, and in Warsaw we are having the standard neonazi "patriots" march I'm going to protest against with thousands of Jews, gays, feminists, anarchists, socialists and other assorted leftists.

It makes sense if you consider that when talking about dates the year is usually understood to be the current year.  "I'm going on vacation August 3rd."  So August 3rd translates very intutitively as 8/3.

Not everyone speaks English so that syntax may be different in every language (and even in English you can say 3 August 2011, so your explanation does not make sense really). On the other hand, everyone has a tendency to order things the way dguller described.

The American way of writing dates always throws me off.

I'm in the wrong bloody country

Just had the most awkward two minute silence while the Starbucks CD played Joy to the World.  Another reason to hold off on playing Christmas music in early November.

Should I feel bad about wasting such a day?

You should feel bad for not remembering it's Remembrance day and having two minutes' silence at 11:11 in whatever timezone you choose.

I remember 7/7/77. I was on holiday in the Isle of Wight.

All I know for sure is that this one goes to 11.

Is it one louder?

I believe my Great Grandfather was wounded on this day.  Shortly after the armistice.  Apparently not everyone got the message.

I didn't know they used American guns on those.

I didn't know they used American guns on those.

Built under licence. The Browning .303 was popular.

So....in case you haven't noticed today is rather special.
Will we see the end of the world before the day is out?
Will sales of pocky go through the roof?
Should I feel bad about wasting such a day?
Or is it just a freak coincidence that means nothing whatsoever.

Probably not, but work is going to be hell tonight, since we've got both a Harry Potter movie and Skyrim being released today.

3rd (day of) August still makes more sense. 

But "3rd day of August" is four words, "August 3rd" is two.
