pasting changes numbers into dates

When I copy text from the internet and paste it into excel, it changes the numbers I have copied into dates. i have tried selecting all the cells in my worksheet and formatting them to text before pasting, but every time I paste, it still changes the numbers into dates. i don't want dates. how can I fix this stupid behavior?

thanks
