#2 is ludicrous nonsense
#3 contains a myth: BCE.
What happened between BCE and CE to make the "common era" occur?

Cille,

#3 Nothing. That's why it is called Common Era. If you are thinking of Jesus' birth, that was probably in 2 BCE. First up, there is no year zero, and also the people that did the BC/AD calculation screwed up by a year.

Cille,

#2 Were you there?
#3 Anno Domini (In the Year of Our Lord) was invented by a monk called Dionysius Exiguus in what became the early 6th century. It's based on his calculation of Jesus' birth, which he believed happened 753 years after the founding of Rome. It's now called the Common Era because we've come to acknowledge that not everyone in the world is Christian.

Wendy,

Nope. It’s still BC and AD.

Rena,

Is it fun living in your imaginary little world? You should come out and join the rest of civilization. You might actually learn something...

I guess some people don't like hearing the truth, eh?

#1 There were two of them, actually, and possibly more. According to sources, they "...proved such an Enemy to the Milk-wenches Bums." mocking

#12 No. No, no, no, no. "Rap" imitates poetry (and poorly) not the other way around. Please stop trying to ruin a beautiful thing by comparing it to that terrible urban horsesh#t that we're forced to endure in this modern era.
