Happy New Year!

New Year is just an arbitrary imaginary line in our lives.

So, let's focus on something real. Happy Perihelion.

We are now 3 million miles closer to the sun than we were six months ago. I know it makes a huge difference in my life. Please share your favorite perihelion stories.

How can we call this decade the "teens" when we don't hit any teen years for another 3 years?

How can we call canned meat spam when it doesn't contain any unwanted commercial email?

It just is.

Assuming we are planning to use the twenties thirties forties fifties sixties seventies eighties and nineties would it not make sense to just call these the tens?
The Tenties sounds a little off.

Re: CoasterMatt's pics.

One of my favorite things to do on HM is to wait until everyone is gone and turn around at that point in the attraction and observe the empty house. It's cool and creepy all at the same time. (It's even more so when it's not HMH.)

We're still in the first decade of the 21st century. The second decade doesn't start until 1/1/2011.

Happy new year, everybody.

I'm still trying to figure out what the heck "Potted Meat" is??!!??

That's true. But we're now in the second decade of the 2000s. Apparently people care more about that one than about the other one. I assume nobody is going to claim that 1990 was part of the '80s.
