We just did that. It seems like a neat way to tell people about https://news.ycombinator.com/front https://news.ycombinator.com/front, plus it's amusing to look at how HN was on someone's 'birthday'. We also made older timestamps say "May 4, 2009" instead of "3124 days ago".

  I do miss the x days ago, cracking the 3k club was nice.
