                                        CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("en-GB"), 
                                        CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("en-US") }

      For Each culture In cultures
         Dim dat As Date = DateTime.Parse(dateString, culture)
         Console.WriteLine("{0,-12} {1,10} {2,8} {3,8}", dateString, 
                           If(String.IsNullOrEmpty(culture.Name), 
                           "Invariant", culture.Name), 
                           dat.Month, dat.Day)
      Next
   End Sub
End Module
