I always enter November 5 1984 for any site that needs it.
I love that idea!
Thanks.
Why that date? Is it from the book 1984?
November 5 is a reference to Guy Fawkes.
1984 is a nod to the book.
Thanks :)
Might be a reference to Guy Fawkes?
Oh, I guess it could be a combination of that and the dystopian novel.
Or two novels.
