As much as I like to be "right", let's not forget that the calendar
is a relative thing...it's not measuring *anything* accurately. 
Jesus' birthday is up for debate, the calendar has been changed for
political reasons numerous times.  Heck, some countries/cultures
don't even use this calendar and have been in different year sets
for, well, years...Two followed by three zeroes is neat.  It's a
story.  Yes, people forget that they never count like programmers
(starting with 1, not 0), but it's what the media latched on to, it's
where the parties were, it's where the bug existed...it just is.  If
we're really going to nitpick, let's all start bitching about why the
SI decided upon a time structure that only measures things in seconds
and resorts back to European time scales for everything else...so
much for divisible by 10.
