I accessed the site but didn't see anything in the lower left and nothing that could be clicked on in the upper right for clarification. What did you see ?

It's the date according to the Islamic calendar.

'scuse me it appears that I can't tell my right from my left. I am interested in the link at the bottom left of the page that points to a weather site and is yeilding an error and the statement at the top right of the page in bold black. Is this page a hoax?

If we are to be hit by third world terrorists. I think it will come at the end of Ramadan.

They are not allowed to do a lot during this monthlong period except fast and praise Allah.

Today is the 23 day of Ramadan according to the site calendar. I would be cautious until at least the 10th of the month

Before relying on Cheri's expertise, consider this post she made at Debonker's:

Okay now Don't laugh. My new computer is Y2K compliant, was when I got it a few months ago. But my old one, 4 years old is not. I had put off checking and fixing it and now I wonder if I should do it or not. I don't use any applications that would need the year. Should I just forget about it and let it go or will the e-mail, sorted by date mess up or just sort odd? Advice anyone?

DO,

I wouldn't get my hopes up- Israel was attacked during Ramaden (Yom Kippur War). Terrorists will strike when it suits their purpose. In their perverted logic, these attacks fulfill a religeous purpose.

Honestly in this case the problem is probably a formatting error and not actually bad date data being stored with the messages. Just having fun with the DeBunkers crowd.

What you see on your screen at debunkers is probably a problem in a cgi script and not actually a problem with the system time. It is possible that that erroneous date is never stored anywhere on their system.

Shoot, just use your PC. If you arent doing financial calculations who cares how the mail sorts? Now if you were an ISP I would be singing a different tune to you.

Actually though the focus of this thread is that site in ISLAMABAD and not PC dates at DeBunkers.

I did to Michael. I have often wondered about the ramadan thing too. What is the date per ISlam calender?
