Rick Date

"The essence of RickDate is the base 36 numeric system. While the decimal (base 10) system only has ten different digits (0-9), the base 36 system has 36 different digits (0-9, A-Z). Base 36 numbers are used to represent the year, month, and day, which are then concatenated to create the date. Example: My birthday this year was November 14, 1994. In RickDate, it is expressed as EBE. The first digit (E) represents the year (1994). The second digit (B) represents the eleventh month (November). The third digit (E) represents the fourteenth day of the month (14)"
