I was looking forward to that. Would have been quite interesting to have a rain of fire or a general implosion of humanity. Even a flood would have been nice, if a little un-original. Instead a few fireworks and a lot of drunk people shouting "Happy New Millenium" as if that was very clever.
Here was my thought though- if you were a madman with a huge bomb thing capable of killing us all, wouldn't you have set it off at midnight? Would have made sense. Or even a shitty computer virus.
But then that would be designed by a geek and he'll no doubt wait until next year to be accurate and not lose face amongst the geek community. Next year, then. That's when we'll all die. Or the Chinese New Year or the Hindu new year.
