I'm writing a report on runway quality and I've stumbled onto a weird qualifier in the data. I understand the Runway 17/35 indicates which direction the runway is facing based on magnetics.

Very likely, whatever data source you're using has been mangled by Excel (or some other spreadsheet or data processing system that tries to convert everything that might be a date into a date format).



26-Aug is actually runway 26/08, 30-Dec is actually runway 30/12, etc. (See "How are runways numbered?")



Some computer system saw those numbers, assumed that they were dates, and presented them that way. The other runways aren't valid as dates, so it left them alone. It wouldn't be the first time that people used Excel without fully understanding its default date-parsing settings and thereby causing problems for people trying to use their data afterward.

            One-line joke

            A one-liner is a joke that is delivered in a single line. A good one-liner is said to be pithy - concise and meaningful. [1] Comedians and actors use this comedic method as part of their act, e.g. Jimmy Carr, Tommy Cooper, Rodney Dangerfield, Norm Macdonald, Ken Dodd, Stewart Francis, Zach Galifianakis, Mitch Hedberg, Anthony Jeselnik, Milton Jones, Shappi Khorsandi, Jay London, Mark Linn-Baker, Demetri Martin, Groucho Marx, Dan Mintz, Emo Philips, Tim Vine, Steven Wright and Henny Youngman and Arnold Schwarzenegger. [ citation needed ] Many fictional characters are also known to deliver one-liners, including James Bond, who usually includes pithy and laconic quips after disposing of a villain. [ citation needed ] Examples "A baby seal walks into a club." "A dyslexic man walks into a bra." (Anonymous) "There are three types of people, those who can count and those who can't." "Venison's dear, isn't it?" (Jimmy Carr) "An escala...
