Some of these planes are just filled with stamps! Got this one:

I caught this one, which is almost completely filled: http://imgur.com/a/H58J4


Not completely.. I can see from here a few sweet spots^^ Nice one!


Now that I'm looking closely, they have an internationalisation flaw: the dates are all in American format. "Italy 09/30/2016" should be 30/09/2016, for example.


Which is why we should all use YYYY-MM-DD in writing. Say it however you like.


Orrr... we should all do it the sensible way of day/month/year. Well, almost everyone already does.


Sure -- in a database, or logfiles.

But it's not unreasonable to write the date the way it is spoken. I say "[Tuesday the] fourth of October, twenty-sixteen", so I write 4/10/2016.


And many Americans (myself included) say, "October fourth, twenty-sixteen." We do write it as we say it, just as you suggested. And there's the issue. Are we simply "wrong" for saying it that way?


> Planet Earth, Planet Earth

Wonder if this is a geolocation failure that produced that stamp.


I have seen "name of city, Planet Earth". What kind of geolocation service contains city names but not country?


A cheap/free one?

Or maybe cities in disputed areas, like Jerusalem or Sevastopol.


I didn't know I was supposed to allow location at first and got just "planet earth." it's a default.


Isnt that whole idea?
