Heh, I don't think I knew that. ;^)
uptime is nice, but at the cost of not upgrading kernels and things,
which contests like this generally lead to, kinda makes me laugh ...
Well, whenever a Debian security update pushes a kernel and tells me I need
to reboot, I reboot.
(Now that you mention it, though, I should run aptitude on my webserver ;^) )
Debian released security patches for 2.4 and 2.6 kernels back in
December, so my uptimes are 66 days.
