Jesus 'Really Dreading' This Next Birthday

JERUSALEM—Jesus Christ, son of God and savior of humanity, confided Monday that He is not looking forward to His 2003rd birthday, saying that He is "really dreading turning the big two-oh-oh-three."

Wouldn't he be 2036?

Actually,,,

I just read today that he was born in the year 4-AD, not Zero.
In fact there WAS no zero year. It started at 1. They didn't handle zeros well back then. That's why the new millinium didn't start until 2001.

And AD stands for something like Anno Domini, which was started by the Romans.
Most of us, Me included, thought it counted from the birth of Christ, but it doesn't.
So, I'll celebrate His 1999th birthday. Still quite an accomplishment for a carpenter to be remembered so long.

Still doesn't look a day over 33.

BC means Before Christ's birth, AD means After the christ's Death.

You are having a bad day!

AD does NOT mean After Christs Death.

Any encylopedia would tell you that, it takes so little time to check.

Yeah, I know, Anno Domini : In the year of our Lord. But to me it is just easier to remember it that way. So shoot me, I could probably get Perdita to hold the gun for ya.

Correction

The Onion wouldn't say "Porn Writers."

The Onion would say, "Area Porn Writers," as in "Area Girlfriend Has Never Seen 'Apocolypse Now.'

In fact, next time one of you is debating what to get me for my birthday or Arbor Day, a suggestion would be the Onion's "Area Woman" t-shirt.
