So, the 3rd Millennium started on January 1, 2001.

Contrary to what I've read and heard . . . we've got a ways to go before the end of the first decade of the 21st Century, right?

Right.

Correct.

You are correct. These idiots who are rushing to end the current decade are the same idiots who were rushing to start the new millenium in 99. Maybe it's no big deal, but it bugs the crap out of me. You can't just start a decade whenever you want.

Apparently Pope Gregory didn't see fit to include a year "0" in his Calendar.

I'm going to party like it's 2999.
