I hope this isn't UI.
Many years ago, we used to comment on September 1994 (when AOL joined
Usenet) as the "month that never ended," and you used to see people
referring to the days as "3274 September 1994".
Does anybody know where I might find such a thing? It seems like March
2020 would be another candidate, and my programming skills are not what
they used to be.

hands aren't even in the same time zone...
