Works in both Europe and N.A., but on different days.  The MM/DD
vs. DD/MM thing...

I sure hope N.A. will be on 24-hour time by then.  (Maybe the
U.S. will even have gone Metric, and U.K. will have finished
switching over.)

But this one'll happen on a different day too, according to the
Orthodox church.  I bet they'll *still* be on the Julian calendar
in another century.

This is the only one that's universal and unambiguous -- besides
being the coolest, with only one digit...  And it even happened
during Hildegard of Bingen's lifetime (not that anyone else here
will care ;-)
