The new millennium finally found its groove in 2001. We watched an ogre named Shrek redefine fairy tales, saw the first iPod promise “1,000 songs in your pocket,” and witnessed the start of two massive cinematic journeys: Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings. While Wikipedia was just starting to organize the world’s knowledge, dads were busy organizing these puns for the next generation.
