The bad news? There are no stories about overly regular geese this week. The good news? There's always next week. http://www.searchWin2000.com/originalContent/0,289142,sid1_gci841260,00.html =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= THE MISSING LINK | 103-year-old man needs mom for eye test Here's another story for the "Oops File." A hospital computer in England assumed a birth year ending in 99 was 1999. A staffer contacted Joseph Dickinson, presumably born three years ago, for an eye check and told him to bring his mum. Can you see where this is going? Little Joey the toddler is really Mr. Dickinson the centenarian. He was born in 1899 -- Mum can't make it! Evidently the Y2K bug still has some teeth, although the same might not be able to be said for Mr. Dickinson.
