When did the nineties become the naughties? ... actually, I just googled this, and apparently it's meme project that started 1999. (http://www.wired.com/culture/lifesty.../1999/11/32769) So why has it taken-off over the last two weeks; 2 references in the Guardian, one in the Globe, and more — what gives?

Not the '90's, the '00's...'0'= 'nought'; so it's the 'noughties' (ie:NOW); and the 'naughties' for tabloids who can't spell/who want to fuck with your brain, Adam.
This has been around for over 8 years, where were you?

I'm sticking with the New Millenium myself. Sounds more epic.

I guess I'm normal.
