We are aware that there was nobody who is reading this who remembers!

However, you remember the celebrations on the eve of the millenium - do you know how they celebrated on the night of December 31st 1899, for the start of a new century? - or where my son can find out? It is for a school project on the 20th century - he has to do a slide show. He has pictures for the end of the 20th century but would like to include one for the start (and he knows that you can take the 20th century starting and ending in 1901 and 2001, but he has decided to just do years that start 19--).

Thanks for any help!

They lost the status of being the "Greatest" to the Americans many years ago, Why they still use "Great" to describe their nation?!
Ironically the Americans don't use "Great" next to "USA" despite being the only Superpower in this day and age!!

If someone came to you and told you that they were closely related to several Nazis (S.S. officers) that fled to S. America to avoid prosecution... would you look negatively at that or knowing that they had no personal involvement, find it interesting? I'm related to several, but it has been kept a HUGE secret in my family until I uncovered it in a really old, hidden photo album a year ago. Turns out my aunt was aware, but no one else was...or admitted to being aware. My mom told me to keep my mouth shut, which of course I do... but would you be interested or would you look down at this about me and my family?
