       It don't make no logicals-type sense, but apparently that is what I'm   
   saying. I guess they decided that mathematically there had to be a year Zero   
   as an anchor point from which count forwards and backwards in time. But I   
   only tend to see the poetry in such things. I was a journalism major in   
   college.
