Clunks useless fact of the day #1

We are sitting on a time bomb. Literally.
Computer and internet time uses a program called Unix. It works by counting how many seconds have passed since 1st January 1970 (About 1.4 billion to date)
however, it will stop counting at 03:14:07 on the 19th january, 2038 where clocks on computers everywhere will reset to 13th December 1901.
However, this only applies to 32 bit computers. 64 bit computers will keep ticking until long after I am dead.
