LOL!!! URBAN LEGEND: When everybody in all the offices throughout the land turn their Day-at-a-Glance calendars and Franklin Planners to 1/1/2000, the "days left this year" will read 36,500 because the calendars will think it's 1/1/1900. Everybody will immediately calculate the incredibly huge amount of OT they'll get paid compared to the typical 2080 hour work year, credit purchases will soar in anticipation of the windfall, but the entire financial system will collapse when the error is discovered. ; )
