Odd results in Joda DateTime for 01.04.1893

I am a bit puzzled by this. What does the offset 53:28 for this date and older mean ? 

 DateTime epoch = new DateTime(0L);
 System.out.println(epoch.minusYears(76).minusMonths(9));
 System.out.println(epoch.minusYears(76).minusMonths(10));

 1893-04-01T01:00:00.000+01:00
 1893-03-01T01:00:00.000+00:53:28

  • i guess that scientists fixx the clock because it's offset for about 6secs each year: Plus 6hours but they add a day for that each 4 years... – gabrjan Oct 16 '12 at 09:33
  • As I can only guess where you are located there's no way to be sure, but could it be related to [this law](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Railway_time#Germany)? – fvu Oct 16 '12 at 09:36
  • As I understand, Java DateTime can only hold date side January 1st of 1970, any date previous to it is not assured – Hola Soy Edu Feliz Navidad Oct 16 '12 at 09:38
