12. Internet Movie Database now lists "1901: A Space Odyssey"

Oops, too late.
8. Sales of Coca Cola jumps drastically after original cocaine-
laden formula becomes legal again.
7. Software engineers point out that since computers think it's
almost 1900, we technically have to "Party like it's 1899,"

6. Microsoft declares the year 1900 to be the new standard of
the "Gatesian" calendar.
5. Jesus shows up late for His second coming, blames it on
COBOL programmers.
4. Computers temporarily fooled into thinking Strom Thurmond is
only 103.
3. First Top 5 List of the year? "Reasons No One Would Ever
