    There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    I was preparing the party until I realised that in Europe, it will be 01:02:03 05/04/06 because we have a logical date format.

    I feel so used.

    That's a riot.

    I remember back in 2001, people on the news talked about it being 01:01:01 01/01/01. A truly binary moment.

    It's not the DST, it's the sequence in which the numbers are positioned 123456.

    What's wrong with 1.02.03 pm, on the fourth of may?

    Nothing if you say 'PM', but if it's in the morning then it works on a 24 hour clock too.
