Well, that settles it. Either we all are going to be REALLLY Old, Cranky, Beekeeping men and women, or we're going to have to hand down the "tale of when great great great grandad answered payphones in a hurricane" so that our punk great great great grandchildren can answer the 2552 axons.

"What's that junior? You don't want to take the school bus? Back in my day we had to walk to school! Uphill both ways naked through 5 feet of radioactive ash... Kids today, no respect for their elders...."
Not that I'm planning on being cranky or anything

Haha, I suddenly remember being in line at the Lowe's on Training Day, while the employees told us that if we didnt have all three things(Email printout, lanyard, ID), we wouldnt get in.
To which I yelled, old man style, "But I have a receipt!"

And at work, whenever I begin quopting from the Axons, the boss's son yells back: "The ultimate enemy of mankind is that you get back and get those Galagas fixed!"

Don't the Covenant attack Earth on the 20th of October?
EDIT: Also, I've just done my own maths, and I've got Nov 4th. We need an arbitrator.
