    I've known plugin conflicts cause weird date behaviour. I would not have thought it was the theme because I think that's a popular one. Sorry I could not be more help - it's 3.30am here and I could sleep standing up on a washing line. Try de-activating your plugins and re-activating them one at a time to see if that reveals anything.

    Go into edit mode for the post, look to the right. Try changing the date manually. Save changes. Not sure if that will do it. Just a quick idea to try. I have never had this problem.

    Test if it is your theme by activating the default theme - temporarily. If the default theme also yields the same date, do the plug in check as mentioned.

    I don't know where you are located in the world so I'll through this out there.
    What date/time did you publish the article?
    06-12-2010-05-2008
    06 day
    12 month
    2010 year
    08 hour
    2008 minute second.
    Might be totally wrong depending on your location in the world. The other option could be that you didn't change your time zone in your WordPress Settings. Check them.

    There's something goofy going on in your theme. The "Hello World" post on your site shows a date of 14-11-2010-05-2008. Also I notice on the theme demo page they've also got the same screwed up dates.

    My suggestion is that you find another theme for your site.

    It could be in your theme, could be settings in your server, or a plugin. It just takes some troubleshooting.
