   Well, May the 4th Be with you...   
      
   SW (the original movie) was released in the States 25 May, 2015.   
   We'd write May 25, 1977, usually. We're middle-endians.   
   NZ nust be little-endian.   
      
   The real bass-ackwards way of writing the date is 2015/05/25 - big endian.   
   I find that useful, sometimes, such as when creating computer file names.
