-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 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.
