If not mistaken, I believe uptime gets it's starting time from utmp (utmpx).
If so, it's probably not very difficult to play games and improve your
yearly bonus for system availablity ;-)

I bet there's a perl module to muck with utmp.  Look at the source code for
uptime and see what it does...

Or even easier, write a perl program to "wrap" uptime, and then munge it's
output for you benefit...
