That gives me an idea for a character named Generic 8675309.

Hey!  How did you get Jenny's number?

Damnnn you!  Now that song is stuck in my head.  At least I like the song.

Correct, 150 was the limit.

My step-grand daughter is named Jenni, she is five, we used that song (with altered numbers) to teach her our home phone number which she sings when she she recites her phone number to her teacher.

Have just noticed that Downix hasn't been on the forums since 07/11/2014?

Could he be away sorting out a deal....?
Could he be to excited to come on the forums due to some possible good news...?
Or could he just be on a family holiday...? 

I'm hoping for either of the first two choices 

[Power Gamer]

Neither, it's forum rash.

He went to get some ointment.
It'll be a few months before it clears up.

Note (for those of us who do dates differently): last visit November 6. Not July 7.

(This is why you'll never see me write dates in that format. It's always written out.)

UK for you  Never understood the method of putting the month first

Your setting is set as European Standard/NATO Standard where it is Day/Month/Year

I'm assuming it's just someone the US did to stand out. Kind of like how we are on the Standard instead of the metric. Sure metric in all conceivable sense makes more sense (12 in = 1 foot, 3 foot = 1 yard... for something that is "Standard, there isn't a standard conversion rate like how metric dose it xD), but we're 'Merica! We take stuff, bastardize it, and call it American xD

[FloatingFatMan]

^ It's called "Imperial" actually, not "standard".  And in the UK, we used an annoying mixture of both imperial AND metric, just to confuse everyone! :p

If I am not mistaken the foot=12 inches measurement came from a King.  People would build things using heel to toe measurements (feet) until one day the King decided it was no longer a rough estimate and would be an actual measurement of his foot (12 inches).  Which would mean this is not a creation of America, seeing how America has never had any Kings.

Not an American origin, but America is the one of the few countries (if I remember correctly there are 2-4 other countries that hasn't officially adopted the metric system) that use the Standard measurement for some reason.

Edit: Oh I see where the confusion for the origins of Standard was when I said "we bastardized and make it American." I was referring to food, culture, sports, etc

We do the same.

[Cailyn Alaynn]

You guys want to talk about confusing measurements....

Try working on a 1980s truck from an American company (GMC Sierra) built in Canada, and worked on by a bunch of different yahoos over the years.
Every other bolt was metric, every other other was imperial.

To be nice i always write it out as something like 7 November 2014. The actual standard is more like 20141107, but that's less human readable for most people even if it simplifies chronological sorts. In any event i have to consciously force myself to do that weird Month/Day/Year thing on forms that require it (of which there are many), it just seems so illogical.

I saved all of my Daily Activity Reports that way when I was in security. Made it much easier to find the correct report on the computer.
