We have all been bombarded with Y2K hype, but is January 1, 2000 really the beginning of a new millenium? It is according to the Christian calendar, but consider the following: the year 2000 will be:
2543 for Buddhists;
1420 for Muslims;
1921 for Hindus;
4697 for the Chinese;
1993 for Ethiopians;
5119 for Mayans; and
5760 for Jews.
Bottom line: for me, January 1, 2000 will be...Saturday.
