Hi,

 I found that the MAN for "date" has wrong representation of "month" and 
"minutes".

 Command: date [-u|--utc|--universal] [MMDDhhmm[[CC]YY][.ss]]

 According to the description "%M" is minutes and "%m" is month... but 
 the command takes "%M" as month and "%m" as minutes ;)

http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/date.1.html

Best regards
