Why must it be fake? jkh announced 4.1-RELEASE on Thu Jul 27 05:17:13
PDT 2000, the above kernel was built in December 2000, and uptime
indicates it was last booted in July 2001. All quite reasonable.

And while that uptime is a remarkable (but expected) achievement for
FreeBSD, its a pretty darn good feather in someone's UPS cap.
