pretty wrong.  in europe we will have in about one month:

04:05:06 07.08.09

(7th of august, five mins and 6 seconds after 4o clock in the morning.)

let's not forget about september 2010:

05:06:07 08.09.10

and of course october 2011:

06:07:08 09.10.11

and november 2012:

07:08:09 10.11.12

see what you can get from a sane date scheme like DD.MM.YY? much more funny times/dates ;)

Sane dates is YYYY-MM-DD as we use here... extends nicely with HH:MM:SS for time of day and ,SSSSSSSSSSS for all those extra digits needed. :)

Cheers,
Magnus
