Has anyone ever heard of an International Standard for date sequence? IE. mm-dd-yy, or dd-mm-yr. I know its a silly question, but I have some money riding on the outcome! Thanks!

Go to http://www.iso.ch/infoe/otherpub.html [/URL] and look for the blurb on ISO 8601. You will find the following description:

"Numeric presentation of dates and times
Information leaflet on the International Standard ISO 8601, Data elements and interchange formats ö Information interchange ö Representation of dates and times."
1997, 4 p., free

If you click on "more info", you will find the following to confirm Marcs recollection of the date representation, driven
primarily by digital applications:

"For numeric applications, ISO 8601 represents dates from largest to smallest element ö Year- Month-Day. For example: 9 December 1999 is 1999-12-09. "

HOWEVER, you may not be able to collect nor have to pay on the bet until you actually have a copy in hand as reference.
