Every once in awhile I see an xkcd that just cracks me up



I hadn't read his site for awhile so I was flipping through some comparatively lame ones, and busted up laughing out loud when I saw this

For those of you not familiar with programming, sorry

the Epoch is the number of seconds since 1/1/1970, at 00:00:01. If you put in a date that is before 1970 and you're using this method to manage time, then you've got a serious problem cause the number would have to be negative.

But when he points and says EPOCH FAIL it's a play on EPIC FAIL

You pretty much need to have computer science knowledge to 'get' a lot of that guys comics, but if you do they are very at the least
