There is a coincidence! I've just finished making the dough for a pizza for tonight, and about to make the tomato paste...ours will be Chorizo and ham with Mozzarella and Cheddar. Yours?

Erm, it's only like an egg on the axis that has nothing to do with time!
On the axis of rotation (where the hours are marked off), it couldn't be anything other than round, or it would fly apart.

Everywhere?
You have to be accurate about these things, and I'm just guessing but I see some flaws in your code:
1) It isn't the same date everywhere: some countries use a different calender[^].
2) The planet is round (well, an oblate spheroid) and the date changes at midnight local time.
3) In twenty four hours or less, this post will out of date, and factually incorrect.
It's Saturday, surely Dolly or Michelle could use your time more efficiently/effectively than arguing semantics with someone on the internet.

Swearing at people and calling them knob gobblers. And reporting on current female tennis tournaments if I'm not mistaken.

Only compulsory in Australia, apparently. 
How you doing? Any work on the horizon yet?

No, I'd be consistently punching the face of the bloke designing their web ordering system.

No. I'm trying really hard to give an elephant and actually look. Everything I've looked over or gone for has an advert so specific you know they have the person already lined up.
You can't advertise for a home handyman and then describe a master builder who has dabled in building time machines and cold fusion reactors.

Either that or they want to employ the Master Builder, but pay handyman rates...

That is what I'm saying. The job title and brief description are exactly what I'm looking for and able to do. Then you read on and they actually want Jesus on a stick for $15-20.00 an hour.

Or you find a job you can do with one hand tied behind your back and aren't even considered because you are over-qualified...

Too funny had never heard of him or the book but;
Quote: However, the book is an exceptionally dull read,and most readers only get as far as the section on the Future Semiconditionally Modified Subinverted Subjunctive Intentional before giving up. Because of this, in later editions of the book all pages beyond this point have been left blank to save on printing costs.
it seems that at some point they re-add the pages to the book at which point people in the past can finish reading it or get an earlier edition whichever comes first!

This is what I absolutely love about the interwebz.
No matter what you post, no matter how careful you are, someone, somewhere, can prove you wrong (or at least take a red hot shot at trying to)
Carry on

Ok, so I did this on "Thursday" as a sarky poke at the current OTD them, and you decided to re-use it and expand it with the date.
Not clever. I'm afraid you must try harder or go find something to occupy yourself
