HAPPY 2006!

HAPPY NEW YEARS!

Best wishes to all, and their friends and families.

WOOOO! 06'

if this calendar time started at "0"... at the end of the first year, we called it "1" and headed into the second year, so on and so forth - hence, we're always a year behind... it's actually the 2007th year

That's just ridiculous. It ranks right up there with the loons who thought that the year 2000 actually marked the start of the new Millennium, when it actually began in 2001. And FYI, the very first year under the current system was year "1", not year "0", so your conclusion is deeply flawed.

You're both wrong When you account for numerous calendar revisions and shifting "start points" for year 1 A.D., unincorporated leap years and leap seconds, adjustments in daylight savings time, rotational decay, lengthened months and omitted days (e.g. in 1582 A.D. Sept-3 through Sept-13 were omitted when the English speaking world switched from the Julian Calendar's 365.25 days to the Gregorian Reform Calendar's 365.2422 days), we're somewhere at around 2003 in "true time."

I [Expletive Deleted F-word]ing hate the New Year. X-)

I love New Year. But at the end of the day, the calender system we use now says it's 2006, so that's what i go by, and don't really think too much more about it...

While your theory sounds interesting, its just not true at all. Since 1972 the entire world has been on an accurate time scale. That's when the first atomic clock was created, and time has been measured by that ever since. I'm going to believe the guys that know how to monitor and adjust the time since they apparently know more about this.

Also incorrect is your posting this response to what Dalthid and I were talking about. It had nothing at all to do with whether the first year was "0" or "1". Which by the way the first official year in A.D. IS "1". B)

"Yay! New calender! Woot! New way to count how old we get and how time passes us by! Yes!"

"Ok this is the FIRST year of the new calender, new decade, new century, new millenium, new era, new shish-kabob!"

It all started at 1. Punks.

Happy new year. Yep, I am a little late, aren't I? Regardless of what you think the date is, I hope yours is happy and Blessed.
