Hey Raoul!
You (and everyone) should be using ISO 8601 for dates!
Not as cute as 04-05-06, but a lot less confusing.
04-05-06 could mean May 4th, 2006, but it could also mean:
April 5th, 2006
April 6th, 2004
May 6th, 2004
June 4th, 2005
June 5th, 2004.
On the cute side, wait til June 6th this year - 06-06-06
And two years from now, my daughter's birthday falls on 08-08-08 (but she won't be 8 years old then)
