No argument there. But it's not about the calendar. It is about reporting the news rather than creating it. Besides, if they wanted their story, they could have just said one twin was born in the nineteen hundreds, while the other in the two thousands (or is twenty hundreds?). I always have to laugh when watching a Subway commercial when the loony toon characters are ready to eat their sub right at the "milloonnium" but when midnight strikes, Taz barges in and eats it all. One of the characters says, "Well, there's always another millennium." To that I reply, yes, next year.
