    All those Kiwis better make sure their gas tanks are full before Dec. 31st. Because if the software can’t handle February with 29 days, it probably ca t handle a year with 366 days either.

    Was this just cos they cross the date line first and thus the bug was fixed before anyone else had to deal with it. Plus laughs in australian
