Man, you make my day better!

I love Star Trek and I will love to show my user the stardate of a post.

Just a question:
Do you think that for now stardate 84547.45 is correct?

I dont have sure, but I think it is a litle weird… ^^

PS: for those who dont know how to install this, just search for the date on the files index.php (for the index) and single.php (for direct article view).

Suggestion: Make it a widget, so we can have the current date shown in star dates.
