Today Is EPOCH Day 15000

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the celebrate-round-numbers dept.

A great number of people wrote in to note that it's EPOCH Day 15000, so don't expect the post office to run, and I'm pretty sure the markets will be closed. And presumably your employer gave you a paid vacation day?

    And if Slashdot would have accepted my story earlier that I tried posting a few times, you could have joined in on the countdown and parties. Somehow, I knew that Slashdot would do this. Posting things after the fact.

    Nevertheless, we had a pretty good party in Bloomington last night with around 40 people, DJ, free pizza, cake and so on. We all had fun and it was a good social outing. Maybe someone will post a picture of our Epoch Day 15000 party cake. If I could get my phone out of this funky state its in I could post a video.

    Whats so special about the number 15000 ? I could understand if it was 10000 or 100000 or, for more binary based folks 16383 or 16384, but 15000?
