So like robot rapists? Why the hell would you build that?

Em, there's actually no year zero in the Gregorian Calendar, the first millenium started on 1 January 1 AD, not 0 AD.
Switchblade:
Bear in mind that the Gregorian calendar, at the point where it was invented, did two unusual things:
the first was the act of placing the first year of the calendar at a point several hundred years prior to the establishment of the system.
The second was in including the capacity to recognize "negative values" that had happened prior to the calendar's origin point. The year 0 is a mathematical artifact resulting from the fact that between the values of -1(1BC) and positive 1 (freaking word filter). (AD1) there must be a zero.
The year was most certainly not called the year 0 when it actually happened, however.
Oli:
"I have nothing of value to add" is the word filter changing "+ 1" kids.
jhocking:
I think this forum needs a few more random word filters as landmines. You'll be innocently typing along, when out of nowhere some semi-obscure word you typed is replaced by the full text of "Jabberwocky."
