I've never seen that before, it's hilarious. As to why, imagine you're from a country that uses a subpar date formatting like MM DD YYYY, and while you're conscious enough to notice its badness and improve on it slightly by adding an "M", you're not conscious enough to search for a fundamentally different approach - a sane date format. A local maxima of sorts.
