Well, today was the day to find out what my Linux server does
when the uptime reached 33 bits...
Just shortly before:

Im a bit disappointed that I'll never see >497 days on this server
(not without a footnote at least). At least now I can schedule some
service on this server. A year and a half later and 6 billion pings worth
of data sitting on top of a MySQL database and 'dmesg' is still empty...
Gotta love it!!
Cheers!
