To all:

Okay, so now that we have had people reply, here's my take.

The Unix timestamp started on 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000 -- and that was
a
Thursday.

The second before (i.e., 31 December, 1969 23:59:59:59 + 0000) was null,
which was Wednesday.

I take issue with this. The second before was -1 seconds from the epoch.
Null
is the absence of a value, so you can't get to null by simple arithmetic.
I learnt
about negative numbers from the Greeks. And no, I'm not going to comment
on their current mathematical difficulties.

Hmm.

D'oh!

But the point still stands: -1 !== null.

What if we were to throw in quantum duality in here?  Null and !Null at the
same time

False

Cheers,
Rob.
