Nah, Y2k _happened_ because of a mythical birth date the later Roman
Empire adopted instead of the year the latest emperor chewed his way to
the throne (sometimes several in the same year). The Y2k _problem_
happened because some software/firmware writers made assumptions about
product lifespans.

The Yen Buddhists are the richest religious sect in the universe. They
hold that the accumulation of money is a great evil and burden to the
soul. They therefore, regardless of personal hazard, see it as their
unpleasant duty to acquire as much as possible in order to reduce the
risk to innocent people. -- Terry Pratchett, _Witches Abroad_
