> > I wonder what we'll call this decade later on. Will my grandchildren be asking me what life was like in the zeroes, or will they be asking me what it was like growing up in the O's? The 2000's? The nothings?

I read an Old Farmer's Almanac about that once.

*looks through his Old Farmer's Almanacs for the article*

Page 172 of the 1997 edition. "Ohs" and "zeroes" are mentioned as possibilities.

> I've been calling this decade the Zips. Perhaps I can be considered one of these kids tomorrow, since I have such cool decade-naming ideas?

Not your idea, unless you know the guy whom the article's writer spoke to. ;-) He suggested "the zips" too.

BTW, I call it the "aughts" (also mentioned in the article).
