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....

It’s logical that the new century begins at midnight on December 31, 2000. Because there is no year 0. It goes from 1 B.C. straight to 1 A.D. (or A.D. 1 if you’re a stickler).

I have looked up “turn of the century” everywhere and nobody seems to know which century is turning, the old one or the new one. I would vote for the old one, like a page in a calendar being turned. But I can’t find it anywhere.
