I ended up learning more than I ever thought I would about the now-infamous Dennis the Short a.k.a. He was the sixth-century monk who created what would became our modern calendar dating system. He pegged the year of Jesus' birth as Year 1. If he had marked the year of Christ s birth with a zero instead of a 1 we could say with complete certainty that the new millennium has arrived. This relates directly to the reason we are gathered here.
Design leaves a lasting legacy.
Even the simplest of assumptions remain with us for an eternity literally.
