How geeky are you?
So most computer geeks know why the date January 1st 1970 comes up a lot in dealing with software because of Unix epoch.  And I can't claim to be geeky enough to answer this question without looking but I thought I'd challenge you and see how many people, if any, do actually know it without having to think about it or look it up....

What day of the week was January 1st 1970?

party like its 1969.

I thought it was a Tuesday for some reason; but Google and cal both say it's a Thursday. :)
