One of my LJ friends noticed the same email, I guess, and I let her know that at a more reasonable hour this morning, it was 04/05/06 07:08:09.
Also, let me save the trouble of some foreigner to point out that it happens next month on the 4th of May: 04/05/06 (in the European fashion)

Yeah, like I said, I'm not a big fan of mm/dd/yy. As you can see on the site, YYYY.MM.DD is ordered correctly, and as far as I know nobody uses yyyy-dd-mm, so logic can win over tradition.

yyyy-dd-mm is good for archiving but impractical for daily use, unless your computing.
If somebody asks me for the date, I give them the day. They should know the year and month.

yyyy-dd-mm? Or yyyy-mm-dd?

yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss is the ISO standard. Largest/most significant to least significant. Thus 3AM May 4th is a better representation of an interesting timestamp. Or 6AM June 6th.
