The magic number 1234567890 (in epoch time) will occur in
a few minutes,
seconds (out) elapsed since the 00:00:00 UTC on January 1, 1970 fake Unix
Genesis. The
1234567890 day coincides with
Valentimes. Base 10 is not the handiest, so is 1234567890 as dull a number as 1729 (see the
1729 Dullness Hardy/Ramanujan anecdote)? Not. 1234567890 + 1 is prime, so is 1234567890^2 + 1.
Eventually, the countdown buzzword drives us to the following assertion:
One hour from now, another species of life form will disappear off the face of the planet forever...and the rate is accelerating
We will talk about that later, on January 19, 2038 (2^31 =
2147483647 overflow)
