The format is quite old.

There was a has the LHC destroyed the planet yet site created when the media kept that sensationalist lying campaign against turning it on (at the early 2000's), but I think the funniest one was the "how many days since the last Java 0-day" around the time Oracle brought Sun (around 2010, wasn't it?), just because of the sheer absurdity of keeping it static for almost an year and being correct every day.

I remember before those there was a famous "how to destroy the Earth" site, with a status page answering "has anybody done any of this yet?".
