>>> don't think uncantabrigian is all that common,<<<
I puzzled over that, and decided that maybe I just didn't get the reference. None the less, I got the word yesterday with the negative prefix paragraph in the same email. At least now I don't have to feel stupid because I couldn't come up with a good use for uncantabrigian.

Cantabrigian was the word of the first day of january 2000!
Can someone understand the bug? Why ONLY to Xara?

xara generously suggested that TEd, If you read what Max actually said, you'll see that he meant to calculate the number of sunrise/sunsets for a member of the crew to see in the New Year!
Whereas the real answer is that Max is an idiot who is having increasing difficulty keeping typos at bay!  That 150 should have been 15, goodness only knows where that rogue zero came from, although personally I blame shanks.

Max concluded, although personally I blame shanks. Yep, always best to blame someone who is as far physically removed from you as it's possible to be, especially if the blame is ill-placed, I always say. What say we nominate shanks to be an antipodean whipping-boy? He may even enjoy it.

Capital Kiwi offered this: Yep, always best to blame someone who is as far physically removed from you as it's possible to be, especially if the blame is ill-placed, I always say. Mais non! I don't go around blaming people just for the fun of it - shanks is guilty! Remember that this thread discussed a possible millennium bug, and it was shanks' introduction of a rogue zero which allowed him to stick to his claim that the last millennium ended when 1999 did. The only thing left is to work out what punishment will truly fit the crime. Perhaps, given his liberal bent, exiling him to the newly re-conservatised USA would be a suitably severe sanction.

I didn't get the Cantabrigian e-mail. I guess I got bitten too.
