Conan O'Brien's "In the year 2000" sketches became a lot more funnier as they now referred to the past as if it were the future!

Well I was hoping to get a reeling in the years style thread about this year like similar threads in this forum, but it seems to have gotten off to a bad start. The next person to wiki me on this website will be set upon by my ravenous dung beetles.

[EMAIL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ravenous"]Ravenous[/EMAIL] of course was released in 1999 so should be exempt from this thread.

Thieves attempt to steal a precious diamond from the Millennium Dome in London

The Tate Modern gallery opened in London

Microsoft released Windows 2000, and later, Windows ME

The US Presidential election was held, with the outcome undecided for over a month, with George W Bush eventually announced winner

'Peanuts' final strip was printed following Charles Schulz's death

Dr. Harold Shipman was found guilty of murdering 15 patients and sentenced to life in prison

Nintendo sold their 100 millionth Game Boy, and the Playstation 2 was launched worldwide. The Sims was released, eventually selling 100m copies. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 was released.

Bill Clinton visited Ireland on his final trip abroad as President
