The Almost-Perfect Video for Celebrating Unix Time 1234567890
I would normally just post this in Global Nerdy and not here in Accordion Guy, but I can’t pass up the chance to share one of the best nerdy Sesame Street moments!
If it weren’t for the fact that the 0 isn’t at the end of the sequence, this Sesame Street video with The Count and Patrick Stewart would be perfect for celebrating Unix time 1234567890, the number of seconds since January 1, 1970. This numerically perfect moment takes place tonight at 23:31:30 GMT (in my neck of the woods – Eastern Standard Time, that’s 18:31:30).

Having grown up on TNG, I knew what he was going to say, but that didn't make it any less funny.
