?But do they know that it is a leap year in 2000? (Normally the start of a
?century is not a leap year, but every 400 years it is.)

But every 2000 years it isn't. (OK, so every 26000 years it is, but that
probably won't bother me too much: I intend to spend all of 26000 AD
researching the effect of psychedelic drugs on sexual performance)
