    The end is hilarious Big Smile

    Just one thing, I don't get the thing about 1234465560 = 'Thu, 12 Feb 2009 19:06:00 UTC'
    and for the record, world ends epoch 1236907890 and starts all over again in another reality Smiley

    Sorry for the confusion, that was a screenshot of http://coolepochcountdown.com/ which was counting down (technically up) the time to 1234567890 Smiley

    Now what date/time is 1236907890?

    Ah, ok

    1236907890 is Fri, 13 Mar 2009 01:31:30 UTC because February is actually the last month of the year, which means we're actually still in 2008 they just changed the months somewhen, dunno when, and sice the world ends on a Friday 13th in 2009... or not... it just happens to be my 20th birthday, nothing special, but I'm still getting the feeling world ends that day, since I also know someone turning 50 the same day, it's very odd...

    Actually world ends for real on Friday, 22 Dec 2282 20:13:30 UTC, which is counting down epoch "9876543210" and since we're all dead by then anyway, nothing to really worry about Smiley
