By that logic 2000 is the last year of the second millennium, 2001 is the first year of the third millennium, 2002 the second, and 2003 the third.

The era started at year 1, and not year 0. So the new millenniums starts at years that ends with 1.

What is a doctor father?

No Rolls Bared played a round of this a while back in one of their House Rules episodes.

Sure, and a window on the fifth floor is technically an exit. But that doesn't make it a viable option.

It's the very first line in this ABBA song.

Brandon Sanderson's Cosmere universe would be fantastic. The last thing I remember hearing was that he was working on a script for a Mistborn movie. I would've preferred a TV-show, but he feels it would work better as a movie, and I trust his judgement.
