From: Sir If you wanted to be picky since the "Year of Our Lord" 1 would have begun at the birth of Christ and most believe He was born 4 or 5 years previous to the Gregorian Calendar's estimation the Twentieth Century is already history. - Belated Happy New Milennium! |

From: Cuilionn The millenium debate is further complicated by a disagreement, among biblical scholars, about the time of year when Jesus was actually born. Along these lines, a dear friend of mine takes great delight in singing a "filked" carol which begins with the following lines: "God rest ye merry gentlemen, let nothing you dismay/ but Jesus Christ your savior was born sometime in May..."
