Nitpick- there IS NO year zero. There are 10 years in a decade, so the last
year of the first decade was 10, the first year of the next decade was 11.
Taking this to today- there are 1000 years in a millenium, so the last year of
the first millenium was 1000, and the last year of this one is 2000. The first
year of the new millenium (and the 21st century) is 2001. Simple as counting
to ten. Millions of people saying that it's the new millenium doesn't make it
