Actually, we were wondering the same about Europe's weird dating
conventin of putting the month and date in backwards order: is it just
that Europe and its former empires have to be different from everyone else?
Not just that but also with abbreviations, oftentimes, especially if not in
English, e.g., a "National Front For The Liberation Of Eschenstein" might
be rendered as FLENTOF, instead of NFFTLOE.

Makes you wonder if they also drive on the wrong side of the streets
anywhere over there...
