Earlier this month, several club members and I made the pilgrimage to Flyin' Miata for their annual Summer Camp. They have brought back track days at the local kart track (after insurance issues forced their cancellation in previous years). Our club prez took some video and photos of me out on track and I used Premiere Pro to make a neat slow-motion sequence (note the bonus butterfly fluttering through the frame):
I also used Photoshop to make a collage from a sequence of photos taken in another corner:

This is why I HATE US-style dates, especially the numeric form; the rest of the world uses either DD/MM/YYYY or YYYY/MM/DD which is logical, ascending or descending order of magnitude.
When reading the above meme date, "the rest of the world" assumes 7 APR 1996 (7/4/1996 Events) UNLESS they know that the author is from the US.
I'm a software engineer by trade so US-style dates make no sense at all, they ALWAYS need to be translated into a more sensible format.
I used to have a LOT of issues when "carded" in the US, the bouncers initially thought my South Australian drivers license was fake because the DOB was 17/10/YYYY (at least they were bright enough to recognise that there weren't 17 months in the year).
QLD drivers licenses now show DOB as "DD MMM YYYY", where MMM is the first 3 letters of the month (probably for the above reason and absolute clarity).
Curiously the license start/end periods are in format "DD.MM.YY", where the DD,MM,YY values are numbers.
