There was a site I found the other day (and have subsequently forgotten what it was) that prompted you to enter your birthdate, and it would present you with various facts about your age. You know, what year in the Chinese calendar it was when you were born, what your astrological sign is, etc. etc. One thing resonated with me, though, and it was in the alternative time measurements of age (number of days old, and months, and weeks, like that): the number of seconds old.
Obviously it’s an estimate, but the realization that I am more than one billion seconds old kind of brought me up short. On my 33rd birthday five months ago I was (approximately) 1,040,688,000 seconds old.
Put another way, I suppose I could say I’m 1.04 gigaseconds old…
By now most of the world has passed the once-in-a-century date and time sequence of “01:02:03 04/05/06”. And you thought Daylight Savings Time was big news!
Yeah, right.

Not only is today Cinco de Mayo, but it’s also the fifth day of the fifth month of the fifth year of the millenium. 05-05-05. I’m sure people are imagining correlations. I touched on this two years ago in 03/03/03.
Isn’t numerology grand?
