Whether or not you enjoyed the debate over when the new millennium actually arrived-this New Year's Eve or last-it's likely that you will find the Calendar Zone http://www.calendarzone.com amusing and intriguing.

This Web site, "a comprehensive, categorized calendar catalog currently containing countless correlating connections and calzone recipes" (yes, calzone recipes) attempts to bring order out of "calendrical chaos." The site features listings of celestial calendars, event calendars, historic calendars, holiday calendars, religious calendars, even time- and calendar-related quotes ("I've been on a calendar, but never on time."-Marilyn Monroe)

The enormous number of calendar links truly is amazing. Looking for a listing of beer festivals? Curious what day it is today on the Aztec calendar? Need a calendar to find out when street cleaning is scheduled to be suspended in New York City this year?

After exploring the Calendar Zone, you think you've hit the last calendrical frontier only to go to Yahoo's Calendar links http://dir.yahoo.com/reference/calendars/ and discover other calendar-related sites abound. You'll find an international election calendar at electionguide.org http://www.ifes.org/eguide/elecguide.htm, as well as an international listing of bank holidays http://www.national-holidays.com/. Leap Day babies-0.0684 percent of the world's population-have the opportunity to join The Honor Society of Leap Day Babies http://www.leapdaybabies.com/, which proudly announces having one set of triplets and 29 sets of twins. And forgetful people can go to Yahoo's listing of reminder services http://dir.yahoo.com/Reference/Calendars/Reminder_Services/ to sign up with one of more than a dozen services, such as the Internet Elephant ($7 a year) or the Time Cave (free), and never forget that special-or not so special-someone's birthday.

And, of course, it's not just morning DJs who enjoy birthday listings of famous people. Yahoo's "This Day in History" Web link http://dir.yahoo.com/Arts/Humanities/History/This_Day_in_History/ has birthdays and more. For example, check out "Mathematicians' Anniversaries throughout the Year," "This Day in Ancient History," "Today in Radical History," "On this Day: Canadian Highlights," "This Day in Automotive History" and the irreverent "Today in Rotten History."

Last, but not least, for those who are "calendar crazy," CALNDR-L, an unmoderated email forum "for discussion of social, historical and philosophical dimensions of calendars and time reckoning" beckons.
