    "Its use for retrieving inter-linked resources, called hypertext documents, led to the establishment of the World Wide Web in 1990 by English physicist Tim Berners-Lee." :p

    It is a bug on the Eircom servers. 01/01/1970 is probably the earliest date it supports. You could call Eircom technical support and see if it can be cleared but odds are, they won't know what you're talking about.

    EDIT: I knew i recognized that date, it's when UTC started. Effectively it is the earliest date UTC understands. It is some sort of bug, I wouldn't worry about it.

    Not quite, it's when Unix Time started, so it's a time value of 0 effectively.
