Lesley Ann Warren People Guide Hello World! Every country has a reputation. But it's best not to encourage bad reputations though.
If those in the US have want to discourage any perceptions that Americans are stupid or arrogant, you really need to take The New York Times' David Pogue away from his word processor. He recently posted this gem in the newspaper:
Late tonight—specifically, 123 seconds after 1:00 a.m.—the time and date, for the first time in all of humanity, will be 01:02:03 04/05/06. And it will never happen again.
He really sets himself up for a fall with such a grandiose statement as "all of humanity", because all of humanity obviously only counts if you live in US. For many of us 04/05/06 is 4 May 2006, so some of humanity will get it next month.
But it gets worse. If it's the first and last time in all of humanity, what about 1906 or 2106?
I can't believe a source as legitimate as New York Times posted such nonsense! But it is kind of funny thought, if only to poke fun. Talk Desperate! threads Chat with other fans over at Talk Desperate! Poll Results Below are the results of the most recent Get Desperate! poll:
