We're not ALL zombies. Why does she say we are bloody?

She's right, right, bloody well right. That's why the whole world copies America.

The British evidently have a hard time comprehending English, despite its inherent redundancy.
Be patient with them.

They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but it shits me when people lift my tweets almost verbatim.

I tweeted this at 00:03hrs UTC+8.

@sage firstly if you can't spot the inherent humour in that post then it's true what they say about irony. Secondly if you go here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Date_format_by_country you'll see that most of the world follows the British date format and very few use the American date format.

I did the exact same joke days ago...

Tell me vbloke, does it shit you when people lift your tweets almost verbatim? Or Jason were you just flattering vbloke?

Sage must be trying to be ironic. Copying, like in the world's use of the Imperial measurement system that you guys love? Yeah, right.

OK well let me take you back to my original tweet back on 10/10/10.

Do I get to claim it now?

@Jason Jordan... Wild concept, BUT, it could be that a number of people all thought of the same, highly complex joke and tweeted it as their own original idea? Either that or they are plagiarising bastards, all out to make a name off the back of your wonder-tweet.

I am the center of the Universe and you can't prove me wrong.

Can someone explain the connection between the metric system that John Farrier writes about and the date format? Transposing the month/day has absolutely nothing to do with the metric system.

The U.S. Military uses the day/month/year format.

The metric system should be abolished since it is discriminatory against polydactylism. It is just like the Europeans to ostracize and marginalize this beloved minority with their neo-colonial counting system who's only purpose is to keep this oppressed people down.

My point was, it's an obvious joke that a lot of people will have thought of independently.

@jason jordan

your tweet was art and you should sue them all.

Jason the first time I heard the joke was after the London bombings on 7/7/2005 and I'm sure that wasn't the original. Not by a long way.

The point being that you did not invent an original joke. I'm not disputing that you thought of it yourself, but you weren't the first.

The tweet is funnier if read out loud in a Cockney accent.

Hey Jason, no one cares.
