Abstract
The new millennium started quietly on the 1st of January 2001, unlike the wide publicity given to the Y2K problem last year. The evolution of the concepts of months and years as well as the ideas of the calendar, culminating in the present Gregorian calendar, is described. Some anomalies are also discussed, showing clearly that scientific logic must necessarily coexist with popular perceptions.
