		Some event organisers hedged their bets calling their 1999 celebrations things like "Click" refering to the odometer like rolling over of the nines to zeros.
		Stephen Jay Gould noted in his essay Dousing Diminutive Dennis' Debate (or DDDD = 2000) (Dinosaur in a Haystack) that celebrations and media announcements marked the turn into the 20th century along the 1900-1901 border (citing, amongst other examples, the New York Times headline "Twentieth Century's Triumphant Entry").
		He also included comments on adjustments to the calendar, such as those by Dionysius Exiguus (the eponymous Diminutive Dennis), the timing of celebrations over different transitional periods, and the "high" versus "pop" culture interpretation of the transition.

		McGown imparts the excitement and joy of understanding as he demonstrates the central importance of size and scale to the survival of living organisms.
		Not just the slow process that ruled the rise and fall of the dinosaurs, evolution happens quickly, too, so quickly that it changes how all of us live our lives.
		They explain how birds and other dinosaurs sprang from a common ancestor, and that dinosaurs did not die out but "were merely defined out of existence." Evolution is the key to the mystery; descendents of dinosaurs are flying, hopping, perching, and building nests in our midst!

	The Century and the Millennium
		I am among those who think there are two kinds of people, and that they are people who think that the new century and millennium began on January 1, 2000, and those who think that they began on January 1, 2001.
		A definitive discussion of this issue may be found in Stephen Jay Gould's essay, "Dousing Diminutive Dennis's Debate (or DDDD=2000)," which is collected in Dinosaur in a Haystack [Harmony Books, 1995].
		Gould, as in his defense of the name Brontosaurus ("Bully for Brontosaurus"), displays towering good sense.

	TIMELINE 18th CENTURY page of ULTIMATE SCIENCE FICTION WEB GUIDE
		This collection of 21 essay, plus an introduction, entirely in English, results from an international conference on Literature, Science, and Technology, held in Leipzig, 30 April-3 may 1998.
		It actually covers a period slightly longer than the title indicates, including Margaret Cavendish's "The Blazing World of 1666", which Richard Nate incredibly denies is a Utopian book, A. Byatt's "Angels and Insects: [1992], and Stephen Jay Gould's "Dinosaur in a Haystack" [1996].
		The absolutely astonishing thing about this otherwise fascinating book is that it explicitly fails to mention or discuss Science Fiction as such!
