Thank a Russian monk for
Y2K – he invented it
By DAVID
EPPS
Pastor
Back in the
ancient time, "2001: A Space Odyssey" had
just been released to theaters nationwide. The movie
was high-tech, for its day, weird, and unsatisfying.
Yet, it did get my friends and me thinking and
talking about the next century. During all this
musing, I calculated how old I would be when the year
2000 rolled around. In horror, I told my friend
Steve, "Gosh, I'll be nearly 49 years old! I'll
be nearly dead!"
