madbakerA friend: "Was the Norman Conquest a result of the Y1K crisis?"
Me: "...No, but Cnut's was."
I mean, William the Bastard is 1066, hardly the turn of the century! And while math says that the millennium actually started 1001, the popular misconception coincides much better with Cnut's conquest in 1016.
