"Lots of folks are wearing those 2009 glasses, and I suddenly realize that this is the last year for the 00 glasses."

"You'll have to wait until the year 3000 to wear glasses like that. Will we even have eyes in 3000?"

I wrote that at 10:08 in the New Year's Eve live-blog.

In the comments, just an hour ago, Peter Hoh wrote: "Someone else noticed the 200X glasses issue." He links here. Ha ha.

That reminds me, Chris explained why I was wrong. Let me illustrate:

"Clean your fingernails, Chris."

It's not Chris, it's me, illustrating Chris's idea, drawing with a grimy Graphtone pencil. Sorry for the gross closeup snap, done with Photo Booth.

I am grateful that 2010 will still permit revelers to look stupid on New Year's eve.

However, since Russia says the US will be at civil war by then, I wouldn't invest in a pair just yet.

Man hands?

No--the nails are too nicely groomed.

You have mannish aspects, but they are not physical.

The loss of symmetry is perhaps to be lamented. But that dangling 2 (or it could be a dangling 1, if you swing that way) provides useful real estate for antenna of the direct WiFi-Brain circuitry we'll all be sporting in another year.

Oh, goody! A new label! The "I was wrong" tag!

It'll never be used again.

Unknown म्हणाले...

For 2011, we'll just put the 2 on the right side of our face and the 11 on the left, and let our heads be the 0.

Quick, patent that design!!!
