Yeah, I don't know what's up with that.
Mainly I just wanted to correct one piece of misinformation,
"- I have been told 106900545747.045975 converts to: Tue May 22 1973 01:35:45"
That's wrong by several millenia, and the Python standard library
agrees with (zope 2.9.1) DateTime.DateTime on this:

>>> import time
>>> time.localtime(106900545747.045975).tm_year
5357
