Because no one knows the second they were born? I actually know the minute (0:21 EDT) but I suspect even that is unusual to know.

Also, how long should we celebrate it for? 1 second?

I like the idea of counting down to the event.

"I'll be a billion seconds old next Friday night! Come to the party and be there when the second arrives!"
