About Y2K: during that time my family kept hearing that really bad things could happen at midnight with the coming of the new millennium. One of the main things that could happen, I think, was the lost of electrical power. So, a couple of seconds before the new year I strategically positioned myself next to the light switch and when the clock hit midnight and everybody started yelling "happy new year" I turned the light off and yelled "we lost power". I wish I could have recorded the faces of shock and fear in some of my family members. It was funny as hell.
