My favorite:
year = ((year - 1967)%100)+1967
1967 of course, because nothing existed before I was born, and few people live to be 100, so I'm unlikely to live long enough to see this break.

If you are going to put this on the Y2K site, be sure to have the correct version I really use nearby:
year = ((year+33)%100)+1967
Otherwise, MAC users will come to hunt me down 67 years too soon.
