Because you can sort on it.

And the date string will be valid for the next 7977 years.

If you want to get anal, tomorrow will be 20130312, which is 2^3 * 3 * 17 * 49339.

Do speakers of British English actually refer to methamphetamines as "meths"? I suppose it would make sense given the whole "maths" thing, but I had never thought about it...

(edit crosspost, I was referring to 7986 years above)

I realized after I read chalsall's edit, first I did not even think to compute it, I took it as correct, but then when I read the edit I computed in my mind and few years were missing. The mistake is more hilarious because of that edit

No, this is what we British refer to as 'meths'
