Jim Norman Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 Ok, we watched the ball drop (from home) and listened to all the talking heads proclaim the start of a new decade. Only one problem, the new decade isn't for another year. We just entered the 10th year of the first decade of the new century. A century whch did not start with Y2K, but a year later 1-1-2001. Ok, I will now sit back and sip my JD, maybe have a little something to eat, go to bed and try to just forget how moronic so many supposedly intelligent people are.

I know this is a hate thread, but before this goes to far, it might be worth noting that they weren't exactly wrong: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decade A century whch did not start with Y2K, but a year later 1-1-2001. Same thing for century: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decade I did get a good laugh from the a football player on tv saying he turned his life around 360.

XD Niner Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 If you think about it since our counting sytsem begins at zero, we'll be 0.0027397260 of the way into the year at mid-night tonight and 0.0002738226 of the way into the decade with two leap years.
