Millennium

Congratulations! You are reading the 1,000th published post on this blog. To celebrate this landmark, here are some attempts by people to portray the millennium:

London's Millennium Eye, a super-Ferris wheel built for the jubilee in 2000. See my comments above about the gigantic bean.

Thanks for your continued readership, everyone.
