Not even close to a geek then. When I was running up to the last couple of weeks I had a counter running down to my 1 billionth birth second. : ) I'd accounted for the leap seconds etc. but I was only able to nail the exact time down to +/- 60 seconds. [Time of birth is only recorded to the minute. : ( ] I took a lunch break so I could celebrate. Also last time I was in NY I arranged to see a friend for my 1/3 century. (Although this was just 33 years + 4 months rather than exactly 100/3 years. I was in the UK at the erxact time, which was the previous day.) And I'm not a geek, so not realizing that, I'd say you're not either.
