Uncommon Birthdays?

Posted by Cliff on from the for-the-numerologist-in-all-of-us dept.

Dolmen asks: "In few days I will live my 10.000th day. My last 'common' birthday was no fun at all, so I'm preparing something special this time. I'm wondering what special uncommon date you, as geeks, did already/plan to celebrate. What did you do for those special dates that most ignore?" Hey, this is kinda cool. Maybe I'll do something special for my 10-Gigasecond day, due to occur sometime in December, 2002. What about the rest of you?

    Let's see, 10 Gigaseconds, 10 000 000 000 seconds, divide with 60, 166666666,66~ minutes, divide with 60 again, 2777777,77~ hours, divide by 24, 115740,74~ days, divide by 365 and you get 317 years, holy crap slashdot has some true IT dinosaurs!

    Probably, they'd get baffled (come on, how many cops know octal? :-) ) They would look at your DoB (july 1985) and say that you're 16 or 17 (depending on when it happened, and how good they are at maths.) eanwhile, I would sit here laughing at the silly drinking laws you have over there in the USA :-)

    Well, I'm turning eleventy-one on the same day my nephew is turning thirty-three, so I think we're going to hold a big joint party. I've got a big surprise planned for the ending - so keep your eyes peeled.

    I found out after marrying my wife that her birthday is 8/8

    You didn't know her birthday until you married her? How odd!

    Unfortunately as we get older we become smaller (45) and eventually degrade to a lower level of quality (78). b-)
