title: Why Does Java's SimpleDateFormat parse this
body: <p>Hi I've got a simple date format set up with a custom format string:
  MMddyy</p>
  
  <p>and I give it the following value to parse:
  4 1 01</p>
  
  <p>I don't think it should parse this because of the spaces but the Simple Date Format is returning the date</p>
  
  <p>April 4th 0001AD</p>
  
  <p>any ideas why?</p>
