Pah! I take your 1000 days and raise you:

% uptime
  18:18:11 up 1146 days,  5:20,  1 user,  load average: 0.08, 0.03, 0.01

Other than as a test-bed some months back, this isn't an asterisk server 
though.

Like me, you'll likely get whinged at: OMG!!! You've not updated/patched 
the kernel in all that time, you're sooooo vulnerable, etc., blah....
