Happy y2k Ethiopia!!!
yup thats right, Ethiopia are now officially in the same century as us!

the fact is that well, its not cause they are a backwards bunch at all, they just use a different callendar to us. Ethiopia use the Ethiopian calandar which is a variant on the julian.

so happy y2k everyone in ethiopia!!!

Err, Ving....dare I ask, how on earth did you come by this snippet of information? It seems so, well...ummm, obscure?

But, thanks anyhow, I will now sleep more easily.

Cheers

Dennis

So... sit back and watch EVERYONE's computers crash now. The Y2K conspiracy theorists really DID mean this date the first time around...they just made a mistake before and gave us the wrong one

Ving You are full of IT!!!!!

ving (David) · #8 15-02-2007, 12:23 PM

what is "it" exactly david?

something nice i hope

thats right chris, the y2k theorists were just using the wrong calendar!!!
the julian calendar is a much older calendar then the gregorian so it makes sense that everything would crash according to the original

Hey Ving, if there is ever a game of Trivial pursuit happening I'm going to make sure I'm on your team.

Fascinating piece of trivia Ving with that phone number, there certainly is a lot of history associated with it and a lot more being created.

Cheers
