The Ethiopian calendar joins the 21st century! (Well, not till next year, but why quibble?)
And we have pictures!
Of course, for the Orthodox Coptic Church, it's till 1724 (they count from Diocletian, don't ask why).[/url]
Happy 2000!

"what huge and loathsome abnormality was the Sphinx originally carven to represent? Accursed is the sight, be it in dream or not, that revealed to me the supreme horror - the Unknown God of the Dead, which licks its colossal chops in the unsuspected abyss, fed hideous morsels by soulless absurdities that should not exist" - Harry Houdini "Under the Pyramids"
