Uh, no...that's BSE (bovine spongiform encephalopathy).
Besides, isn't the current best guess that Christ was born in 4 BCE, so that to use BC in that context would be self-contradictory?
Sorry!! Too Bad !-- About your other point: a pope in the 900 adjusted the calendar and changed the years. Are you advocating we should change the current date to 2008 .Is that your main concern, that we correctly reflect the date of the birth of Christ.
I thought the calender had been corrected for that a long time ago. Is that still how it is? I'd heard that also, many years ago, but I thought the last update to our calender system was corrected for this. Does anyone have the real scoop on that?
No, 2 BC/BCE.
