Is it the turn of the twentieth century in 2001, or the turn of the twenty-first century? Or doesn’t it matter? I’ve never been able to find a definitive answer to this.

Twenty-first century.

The only way I can remember is with Christ who lived in the first Christian century, years 30-33 were his ministry period.

Remember the WORLD -including ALL the ‘chicken little types’ were planning for and predicting a grand party while the doom & gloomers pitched in also— for 1/1/00 and some ‘party pooper’ suggest the ‘new’ century didn’t start till 2001.

I don’t know, and there was a lot of foolishness going on.

I was spending all my money because ‘they’ said the banks and computers would crash and no cash registers etc would work at 0000 01/01/00

Good question on 0000 or 0001

0000 is considered midnight
0001 is considered tomorrow - well today....

Like the old out of the 10 days, all end in Y except one

SUNDAY
MONDAY
TUESDAY
WEDNESDAY
THURSDAY
FRIDAY
SATURDAY
YESTERDAY
TODAY
TOMORROW.....AND WE WON’T WORRY ABOUT TOMORROW BECAUSE IT NEVER COMES....
