One more interesting bit of trivia. There is no year zero BC / AD. Dating goes directly from 1 BC to 1 AD. Roman numerals didn’t include the zero, you see!

Ha well I do know that. Had a great math teacher, a Christian man that could extrapolate for hours on the zero!My was he encouragingand entertaining. He had so much wisdom and knowledge. I suppose most of my life was so pre occupied with numbers and calculations I just never got around to history. Well, not until lately. There is so much to learn whether it be in scripture, which I believe is endless learning, joyous learnnig at that yet it stretches, tears and strenthens the mind just as exercise does the same to muscle tissue. There is a proverb I love when someone corrects me or tells me more than I know:

Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee; rebuke a wise man and he will love thee. Proverbs 9:8

As much as I learn I realize I've learned only a little. Little in the wisdom and knowledge of God and wisdom and knowledge of this world. Heck, my very typing is so atrocious I've been rebuked in learning the keyboard before writing such massive displays of erroneous misspells, punctuation and horrid sentence structure! Makes me laugh, somewhere between my brain and the keyboard there's a riot going on wreaking havoc on so many frayed nerves the neurotransmitters seemingly take so many back roads to my finger tips they forget the intitial message! Take care and thanks again!
