>>Age calculators are discussed everywhere for years and I think that would be for years to come. But there would never be a solution because:
>>-Solution is based on where it is used
>>-There are no universal rules for every sector it's used in.
>>Looks like it's the calendar system that's guilty:)

>>PS: If we had concrete rules we could calculate in any language. ie: Can you tell me: How many days = 3 months? (I don't have an answer, all I know it's 89-92 days).

>This secret would have to be told anyway, so I will reveal this so everybody knows what to prepare for. The international standard organisation (ISO) has decided to change this once and for all. The new years will have 1000 days, and each year will have 10 months. Each month will have 10 weeks, and each week will have 10 days. Each day will have 100 hours and each hour will have 100 minutes. This new metric calendar will be implemented all over the world April 1. 2006, which will be the new 0-0-0 YOB (Year of Bush). Yes, you say no typo, the new metric calendar will have year 0, day 0 and month 0.

>The implications of this change will be extremely big, and that's why the politicians have kept this secret for so long time. One change is that since people's age will change, all the retired people will have to go back to work until they have changed all the retirement rules. Plus all computers and watches will be outdated over night. The y2k problem will be nothing compared to this change. I was busy checking my computers for the y3k problem (year 10000) when I heard about this, and had to change all my plans. So tomorrow I head for Phoenix, Arizona where I plan to hide for the next few years, until the dust has settled.

Tore,
You should hurry, I think you violated an NDA:)
