Today is World Standards Day, except in the US, Canada, and 3 or 4 other countries

NIST (the US standards committee) celebrates it on October 27th. The Canadian standards body celebrates it on October 5th. Russia and a few other former Bloc countries celebrate it sometime in early November.

I wish I were kidding about any of this, but I'm not.

Also there's another World Standards Day on October 14th (today is ISO, the 14th is WSO).

This explains a lot.
