This Wednesday, at two minutes and three seconds after 1:00 in the morning, the time and date will be 01:02:03 04/05/06. (Thanks, anonymous clock-watcher)
Reader comment: Robert Turenne says,
If you live in Québec, Canada, the date format makes it 2 minutes and one second past 3 in the morning, on May fourth !
Reader comment: Bru says,
Not so. The way of writing the clock time is the same in French Québec (and France too): 01h:02mn:03sec. The only difference is in the order of day-month (instead of month-day in English), so it would be 01:02:03 04/05/06 = 1h 2mn 3sec 04 Mai 2006.
Update: The subject of exactly how dates are formatted around the world is a subject of some dispute. Thank you to the many BB readers who wrote in from afar to debate this. YMMV.
