The role of Seraph was written exclusively for Jet Li. Once Li declined the
role, the character was re-written for a female role offered to Michelle
Yeoh. She later declined the role due to scheduling conflicts.
According to the records Smith throws on the table in the first movie,
Thomas Anderson's birthdate was March 11, 1962 (does 3/11/1962 mean
anything?). Could this have possibly been an original airing date of The
Prisoner, or some other particular television program? Well, it isn't The
Prisoner, but something must have happened in 1962. Probably coincidence,
but that was the day Jackie Kennedy visited Pope John XXIII (hmm, 23!) in
the Vatican.

Who died on March 11?
Heheh. Who needs South Carolina, anyway? ;-)
Come to think of it, my brother is in Marines Basic Training at Parris
Island in South Carolina right now. So, err, I might want to keep SC around
too.

Depends on which Calendar you're looking at some use Sunday as day 1
perhaps the majority do others use Monday.
Saturday is the sabbath for Jews no? And Christians choose Sunday I
believe. 6 of 1 half a dozen of the other.

I don't know what you mean by "Official" I am not aware of a governing
board for Calendars. Outlook for example uses Monday as day 1. It's
common for Christians to use Sunday as the Sabbath hence the 7th day.

Get used to it kid, the Corporate world runs the rest of it. Mon - Fri
is the official work week. Sunday is the seventh day.
James.Williams
All Windows OSes use S-S as the week in the clock ap.
When I define a week, I define it as Monday through Sunday. There is a
reason why Saturday and Sunday together are known as the "weekend".

In a way, you're probably right. After all, when Saturday morning hits,
we're not trying to finish up the work for the end of the week; we're trying
to party! On Sunday night, though, we're already starting to focus on the
next week's work. But when does the week begin? WHO CARES?

I guess the real question is... on which day of the week does God rest? If
that's actually Saturday, then all those jokes about praying to him on his
day off are debunked.
