Oh don't get all "magic means illusions, and the new millenium started in the year 2001!" on me! Magic has multiple definitions, and one of them is breaking the laws of physics, which ninjas in anime and video games do all the time. And if you think the new millenium started in 2001 then why don't you think the new century started in 2001, and 1901, and the new decades started in 2001 and 1981! Same principle, smarmy little smarty pants, so explain it to me, person that never actually said anything about the year stuff, but ends up getting treated like they said it for no good reason!
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
