As if Febuary 13th wasn’t going to be bad enough seeing its Friday the 13th; UNIX time will reach “1234567890″ at 11:31:30pm UTC. To check (on a *nix box) when it will happen in local time for you run: 
perl -e 'print scalar localtime(1234567890),"\n";'

“Over at Linux Magazine Online, Jon maddog Hall writes that on Friday the 13th, 2009 at 11:31:30pm UTC UNIX time will reach 1,234,567,890.
This will be Friday, February 13th at 1831 and 30 seconds EST. [..] Now, while
this is not the UNIX epoch, Alan Cox does assure us that Linux is now
working on 64-bit time, and the UNIX epoch ‘roll-over’ would happen
about the time that the sun burnt out.”
