I have heard or rumors of really, really old mainframes or other such
servers which have an uptime of something like 30 years and nobody dares
to turn them off because they might not boot up anymore, and there aren't
any people who would still have the knowledge to fix them. I don't know
if these rumors have any veracity, though.

Useless use of 'wc'. Should use grep's -c option.

FWIW, apparently 2287 days is about 6 years or something. (I have no
idea about Linux kernel numbers. What's the current version??)

I was more amused by this guy trying to track down a single bracket
amount 20 thousand others just like it... That stuff can't be any fun at
all!

Then just google for: latest Linux kernel
The answer will be on top of the first page Google links to.

There is a story that's been around about a NetWare server that was in a
wiring closet that got completely closed up - no more door. They didn't
even realize it was there, just chugging along. I think the uptime was
something like 8 years, which for a PC server isn't bad....
