Its logical, the most important thing is the DAY then wich MONTH it is (you prob know that anyway) and then wich YEAR (if you dont know witch your it is ypour a real dumbass) ==> day-month-year
now time: you first want to know wich HOUR it is that how many MINUTES (less importand as an hour since they change each 60 sec) then you want to know how many SECONDS (I'm not really interested but maybe some of you are) ====> hour:mintes:seconds
so the best and most logical is

Code:
DAY-MONTH-YEAR HOUR:MINUTES:SECOND now: 28-03-2006 14:17:12
28/03/2006 15:26:49 to be exact !

NOW GET IT RIGHT AMERICANS!!! WITH THE FUNNY ACCENTS!!
Just a little curious how you D/M/Y fellas actually say the date when you are asked.
In America we say that it is March 28th 2006. (M/D/Y)
Do you guys say It is the 28th day of March 2006 (D/M/Y) ?

No, we say it like it is, EXAMPLE- Its March twenty first, two thousand and six.

Yeah. Otherwise it just sounds "robotic"
So if that is the way that you say it, then why don't you write it that way?
Or we can all just change over to the Star Trek system: Stardate 221.4

I'm not sure why we use Month/Day/Year, but it's probably because most of us write "long format" dates like this: April 4, 2006. I know I've seen the 4 April 2006 format a few times, and for all I know that's how they do it in Europe. Meh.
Metric is a much better system than the US system of measurements. For instance here are some fun units you can memorize (these are from memory, some may be wrong):
1 foot = 12 inches (why? beats me)
1 yard = 3 feet (why? good question)
1 rod = 5½ yards (unless it's cold, apparently )
1 mile = 8 furlongs = 5,280 feet (Furlong, by the way, sounds like a porn star name)
1 cup = 8 ounces (how come? no idea)
1 pint = 2 cups = 16 ounces (again, no clue why)
1 quart = 2 pints = 4 cups = 32 ounces
1 gallon (U.S.) = 4 quarts = 16 cups = 128 ounces
1 hogshead = 63 gallons (WTF??)
1 grain = 0.002285 ounce (OMFG)
1 scruple = 20 grains
1 dram = 0.0625 ounce (seriously...)
1 pound = 16 ounces = God knows how many drams, grains, and scruples
Now, 1 metre = 39.37 inches; 1 foot = 30.4 centimeters; 1 quart = 946 milliliters; and 1 kilogram = 2.2 pounds (give or take).
Look how much sense Metric makes!
1 cm = 10 mm
1 m = 100 cm = 1000 mm
1 km = 1000 m
1 l = 1000 ml
1 g = 1000 mg
1 kg = 1000 g
Too bad Americans won't switch because of inertia. Oh, and as for the accents...British rock groups often have to work on an American "accent", while Americans often speak of the debonair, sophisticated British "accent". Which one of us actually has the accent? Beats me.

AND then because i am always typing it as 'color' in my web sites, i end up spelling it as 'color' when writing stuff out!
