That was a great find. Thanks Angelique. I noticed that the results in the two charts are different for the couple of cities I looked up. Perhaps the charts are not dated the same; perhaps it's something more involved. No way to know. This report has a more plausible legend than Jim Lord's regarding probable and likely. This one has a sliding scale from not likely to probable with improbable in the middle. Much more intuitive. It also had a reference to the Navy Y2K site, where I found the following joke: Why Coke Will Surge After The Millennium Starting shortly after Jan. 1, 2000, the Coca-Cola Company enjoyed an unexpected surge in demand for its flagship product. Seems that the company's embedded process control system clocks rolled back to 1900, causing the original cocaine-laced formula for Coca-Cola to be reinstated.
