I think the other penny is some kind of fee for annoying the poor guy on
the receiving end, hahahahahaha.....Has a fellow engineer I count from
what ever number I feel like for the day..... I allow the compiler to
make up the 1's and Ooooooo's, hahahahaha...... I prefer the life of a
Mathematician, and most of the time I am not counting....just trying to
break society's life a little bit..... Y 2 K, I dunno, that is my ? Y 2
K, hahahahahaha.... Gee my credit cards say oo for experation,
hmmm..... sounds like a never gonna expire to me, hahahahaha (infinity
for those that never saw a oo, or -oo before.....course it does help to
have the right font and type.....). I don't fear 2000, I fear that guy
with a nuke in his living room trying to find the fastest, cheapest, and
easiest way to lunch it into my living room, a.k.a. Sadam Insane????

Wait GD MINUTE! (sorry had to ;) I start counting from zero.
I'm a
computer
engineer (I thought everyone counted this way ;)
Wait Another GD MINUTE! There is an hour zero. If we're going
to be
talking
GMT why don't we use a standard clock. 24 hour time. Military
time if
you will.
00:00:00 is exactly the start of the day. 23:59:59 is 1 second
away
from the
start of the next day.
I don't care when the new millenium is. I can get drunk anytime
I want,
it
doesn't have to be a new year for me!
Which brings me to this: If someone asks "a penny for your
thoughts"
and you put
your $0.02 in, where does the other penny go?
