THANK YOU! Remember when everyone started yelling about the "new
millennium" and scientific types always pointed out that the new
millennium, according to our calendar, starts in 2001? I do. But it
seems like everyone in North America was so intent on having the new
millennium right away that people stopped correcting them.

I know, in the end it's all arbitrary, but still...
