 From [a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2038_problem"]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2038_problem[/a]

"On most 32-bit systems, the latest time that can be represented in this format, following the POSIX standard, is 03:14:07 UTC on Tuesday, January 19, 2038."

"Using a (signed) 64-bit value introduces a new wraparound date in about 290 billion years, on Sunday, December 4, 292,277,026,596. However, this problem is not widely regarded as a pressing issue."  
The real trouble with reality is that there's no background music.

My friend in 5th grade his family moved out into the missouri country side just before Y2K, their house out there had a bunker and everything.  We think they moved out there because of Y2K.
