Atheist:
But there’s no such date as 4/20/2004, since there are only 12 months!
What a crazy, wacky, and utterly silly way to format dates.
Bah!
The standard style of d/m/y is also illogical since it goes from small to big, that would be like 123 meaning “three hundred and twenty-one.”
A compromise might be y/m/d.
2004/4/20
Of course, we Americans win out because all we have to do is look past the year and we get the month and day in the familiar format!

What’s so special about that date (20/4/2004)? I hope you weren’t talking about the 115th birthday of Adolf Hitler…

Does any one know where the term 420 came from? I would guess it is the time of day to get high, because getting high after school work etc, just in time for dinner and not too late to either make you passout or keep you up… Thats just my theory…
After posting this I googled it…
According to Steven Hager, editor of High Times, the term 420 originated at San Rafael High School, in 1971, among a group of about a dozen pot-smoking wiseacres who called themselves the Waldos, who are now pushing 50. The term was shorthand for the time of day the group would meet, at the campus statue of Louis Pasteur, to smoke pot. Intent on developing their own discreet language, they made 420 code for a time to get high, and its use spread among members of an entire generation. While our teens feel that they know something we don’t, you can let them in on the fact that it was your generation that came up with the numbers.
A quote from one of the Waldos in the High Times article states, “We did discover we could talk about getting high in front of our parents without them knowing by using the phrase 420.” Fortunately, your teenagers will not have that same option.

I never heard of it before and have no idea what you are referring to so I guess I won’t be celebrating it. What ever it is.

I can’t help it that whenever I see 20/4 I need to think about Hitler’s birthday…
But I’ll work on it

How do you know that?
That might be where they got the date from.
Looks like I missed some of the posts. Now I understand what you are talking about.
