The green label on the microscope says,"This device does not store or record the date and is not affected by the Year 2000.

Ahhh... the year 2000- The year that machines were supposed to take over the world, the year that was spent trying to arrive at a new word to describe the 00's.. (No conclusion was reached.. yet), the year that Britney was still declaring herself untouched (And look at her now).
The memories.
