Now you know why people worried about Y2K, and why they still worry about UNIX time rollover. Imagine if you had to pay tax going back to the last time you logged on to the barrow downs. Thirty-four years back taxes, plus interest. Cash, please.

Fortunately the Barrow Wight doesn't collect taxes.

Do you mark? heheheh. I would never have known that -- and thank goodness for the non-tax-collecting Barrow Wight... In fact I wonder if there is another explanation (a birthdate perhaps) -- not that this one isn't satisfactory.
