May 22 is the Expression error: unrecognised punctuation character
-
Google's currently pimping doodle4google, a drawing contest for kids. The winner gets their doodle on the google homepage on May 22nd. Since google usually puts their special logos up on holidays, I thought I'd search to see if the 22nd is a holiday.

The WTF in the google doodle is this >>
Mail your school's entries to this address by April 12, 2008 (entries must be postmarked by 11:59:59 pm that day):
Google Inc.
Doodle 4 Google competition
PO BOX 391000
Mountain View, CA 94039-1000I heard there was a way you could do these things paperlessly these days ... communicate somehow without the help of the post office. Trying to remember the term here.... e ... electronic! Yes Electronic Mail ... or email I guess. I wonder if google knows anyone that provide these email services?

TRWTF is the requirement for postmarking on the second, or wording signifying so.

How many post offices actually stay up to postmark things at 11:59:59PM on days other than April 15th?
Maybe this is just google's way of helping forgetful parents send in their returns three days early? "Oh crap! I need to turn in my kids doodle! Oh double crap! I need to do my taxes! Sorry kid, no time to run to the post office now. I've got mounds and mounds of ill-conceived beurocracy to attend to."

Could this be a joke, a pun, a humorous reference?

Even so it would be 3 days late.

My local post office does...
The only problem is that they stay up miss-filing all the mail at 11:59:59! Caz mail delivered to the right address is against their code of honor.
I often get mail from my neighbors, and more often get mail from neighboring buildings!

I wouldn't trust a bunch of elementary school teachers to produce quality, high res scans, and be able to get large images through their districts' email filters, some of which undoubtably limit attachment size.

"May 22 is the Expression
error: unrecognised punctuation character "{"th day of the year Expression error: unrecognised punctuation character "{" in the
Gregorian calendar..."The correct answer (tadah): Answers.com probably has a f'd up/misinstalled version of ParserFunctions extension. (The text comes from Wikipedia's Template:Day which uses ParserFunctions). That, or something else funny is going on. (That, or maybe it's somehow related to the funny changes in the bleeding-edge MediaWiki preprocessor code. Could affect the extensions. Heck if I know.)
