How old are you? Why, a billion seconds!

I was just watching a video of Neil deGrasse Tyson give a talk, he mentioned that people live their 1 billionth second when they're 31.
I stopped being 31 last year, so this interested me - was I, perhaps, under anesthesia in surgery? That would make a cool anecdote. "Yeah, I turned a billion seconds old, but I was passed out on drugs while getting stabbed, so I didn't notice. I decided to check, and google is quicker than a spreadsheet.

August 25th, 2012, sometime between 2pm and 3pm local. Or maybe an hour earlier, I don't know whether this respects DST. 33 days late. I was in the rehab place then. Darn.
But knowing when one will/has turned a billion seconds old, that strikes me as something other geeks might enjoy knowing. But a) I'm posting up too many threads in cyber terror recently and b)I'm sure some of those who're scared shitless of how they themselves might judge themselves, were they to even to near cyber terror, might enjoy knowing this, also.
