What to call 2010

[Celso Alvarez Cáccamo]

4L3X, GR347 1D3A! But nothing becomes F4M0U5 until it is #I 1N G00GL3.  Then someone else comes, patents the idea, and we'll have to fight legal battles.  Better post H4PPY N3W Y34R ZOIO (R).

> Now the question is what "ZOIO" means in different languages. To start with, one of the commentators' name in that thread is "zoio" ;-) . In Brazilian Portuguese, it is a dialectal, informal version of "olho", 'eye'. And there's a village in Portugal, Zoio.
