He's clearly not a 'merican, hence he uses a more logical date-format
(hell, probably the metric system too unless he's UK bases, the horror of
easy calculations, dreadfull!).
Didn't you use to complain about people quoting url's from spammers BTW?

I know, Rik - it was more tongue-in-cheek. Just pointing out that the
date is ambiguous (although I do agree with you d-m-y is more logical).
And you're right - I should have clipped the URL. My only excuse is I
haven't had my first (or third) cup of joe yet this morning :-)

The UK does actually use metric for most things these days. Except beer,
which is sold in pints and road signs which are in miles and yards: speeds
being in miles per hour[1]. Milk bottles are usually labelled in litres,
but bottles tend to be multiples of 568 mL.
If you want an example of a non-US country that has not yet officially
adopted the metric system, you could choose Liberia or Myanmar.

1. It is noteworthy that the UK's motorway speed limit (70 miles/hour) is
almost exactly 4 millilightyears per fortnight (it's about 4.0009353).

Toby,
With a claim like that, I had to check it. I think your figures are a
bit off.
1 light year is about 5.87849981×10^ 12 miles. In one fortnight that
would be about 225,322,374,647 miles. 1/1000 of that would be
225,322,374 miles. I think you'd have to be going a lot faster than 70
mph to get that many miles in a fortnight. :-)

What did you calculate to get 225,322,374,647 miles? 1 light year *
26.09? If yes, why?
But Toby got it slightly wrong too. 1 light year per fortnight is
5.87849981×10^ 12 miles / (14 * 24 hours), about 17495535149 miles/hour,
so 70 miles/hour are about 4 nano light years per fortnight.

Either of 2 ways - 5.87849981×10^ 12 / 365 * 14 or 186 282.397 * 60 8 60
* 24 * 14. Both give similar answers.
But you're wrong - you need to divide 5.87849981×10^ 12 by 365 to get the
number of miles in a light day, then multiply by 14 days.
I have no idea where you got 5.87849981×10^ 12 / (14 * 24). But one
light hour is 670,616,629 miles or so.

Yes, dammit I did. I originally had 4 microlightyears per kilofortnight
and then multiplied one side down by 1000 and the other up by 1000. D'oh!

For some weird bizarre reason, the term 'kilofortnight' is enough te keep
me grinning for an hour... Almost as good as when I calculated the fuel
efficiency of a car in acres (it was 15.4 picoacres BTW).
