Woman gives birth to triplets.

Millenia are boring, Decades are where it's at

Then we would have three calendaretic epochs: BC, AD, ??

I leave it up to you, dear reader, to propose the name of the next time interval. I know no latin.

Alternatively, and this is my personal favourite, why not click over into 1969 series b, instead of 2000?? We've all wanted live through the sixties at least once. And then we could give our selves another 31 years to prepare for the millenium bug quite comfortably.

Our creative juices have all but dried up, and we have resigned ourselves to a never ending playing of the 60's,70's,80's tape loop anyway, so let's just be honest about it. The 90's has been the decade of the fumbling intention as we struggle to hide the cruel fact from ourselves that we are tired of it all.

And, rather than abandon the opinion of the "people that count", we continue to cling to their prescriptions and live in fear of our own capacity for living.

So next time someone asks you what you think of the 2000, 2001 issue, just look 'em in the eye and say:

get a life.

end of rave.
