My school is stupid.

Well, I was late to school today. So, to get in, I had to take a late pass. For those of you that don't know what it looks like, it's a piece of paper, which is then stamped with a date/time by a machine. Well, today, when it was stamped, the late pass said:
2003 Mar 32 AM 9:05
I shit you not. This is not an April fool's joke.
Have a very nice day.

Crayz, I'm guessing bad, since the date would mean it's invaled.

D'oh. I missed that. I thought it said "Mar 31", in which case...

It's probably just a bug; it doesn't necessarily mean anyone at your school is actively stupid.

Depends on what kind of machine, but 2, 12, 22. It may have seperate dials for each digit.

Just try to get to school on the 33rd. I'd try not missing a day until the end of the year, which should be somewhere around the 100th of March.

The machine is only as smart as its programmer...

Maybe it requires a manual reset at the end of the month, or it keeps counting foreward to 39 or 99...
