I tried:
#date 0108141602
Tue Aug 14 16:02:00 PDT 2001
#date
Tue Aug 14 08:59:00 PDT 2001
Both this, and my earlier attempt were taken as examples out of the
man page.

to change the date, you may need to use a full timestamp. read the
date(1) man page for more info.
date, if given with a bad flag pops out with:
[jan@hi chap1] {647} date -h
date: illegal option -- h
usage: date [-nu] [-d dst] [-r seconds] [-t west] [-v[+|-]val[ymwdHMS]]
[-f fmt date | [[[[[cc]yy]mm]dd]HH]MM[.ss]] [+format]
