A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds

I am off to the Artificial Life conference in Kyoto soon; I am filling in some online forms to save time in person later.  As is often the case, such forms want date of birth.  I am bemused by the day-of-month dropdown menu.

  1. That is amazing! A programming gem -- I'd love to see the script which populated that dropdown. And I can't help wondering if the "right" thing happens for those whose birthdays are on days 21-25.

    1. I can confirm it does the right thing for at least one of those days :-)
