Silly Site o' the Day

In honor of my brother Gene's birthday today, and via Kathy Pearlman, here's a fun birthday calculator. (As Gene runs an accounting firm I figured he'd like the word "calculator" as well.) Hey Gene, did you know you were born on a Saturday, the moon's phase on the day you were born was waning gibbous, and the Julian calendar date of your birth is 2436655.5? Well, it's true! Furthermore, as of 6:30 Eastern time this evening, you are 46 years old, which is 552 months or 2,401 weeks or 16,802 days or 403,265 hours or 24,195,930 minutes or 1,451,755,829 seconds. On your next birthday you'll be my age now, 47, and if you had a cake with those 47 candles it would produce 47 BTU's, or 11,844 calories of heat (that's only 11.8440 food calories!). You can boil 5.37 US ounces of water with that many candles. You're welcome! (You're never speaking to me again, are you?)
