I was born, January, Nineteen, forty-five. I was not born January, One Thousand, nine hundred, and forty-five. We went through the seventeen hundreds, the eighteen hundreds, and the nineteen hundreds, so why is tomorrow not going to be twenty, oh, nine? I've been saying twenty, oh since 2001 and people look at me like I'm from Mars, then they have to absorb what I'm saying.
The year 2000 was understandable because there is no other way to say it. Even when we talk about the Viking wars in the tenth century, we say ten, oh 6, or whatever. Radio and TV, movie trailers, and all other announcers refer to this twenty second century as the years of two thousand seven or eight, etc. When do you think it will become twenty something, or will we always be saying two thousand, forty five, or later two thousand, one hundred and forty five, etc.?
** ** ** See you in Twenty Oh Nine!!!

These are the nutsy things I think of when I don't have anything to do. Christmas is over so all my orders are shipped and when I watch TV, I'm daydreaming and thinking these crazy thoughts.
