Happy New Decade

charlie:
Happy New Decade y'all.

micah:
Very interesting that the first year was 1.  I don't feel like looking that up but I'll take your word for it.  My assumption was that, since our calendar is based on the (presumed date) birth of Christ, that the calendar followed the birthday logic of year 0 being His birth and each subsequent year being an anniversary of that year.  But I suppose it makes just as much sense to say 1AD is "the first year of our Lord." Furthermore, I've never heard anyone reference the Christmas story as taking place in 0AD*.  Ok, you've converted me to this new line of thinking.

*edit: with the exception of Back to the Future
