The Dim Year.

Historians are unknown to moments of fun beyond piling their heads with figures representavives of significant years - 1776, 1918, 1789, 1945.. They are very good with such - so good they are with figures when figures demand no calculation of them. Pair any historian of knowledge weighty against any computer search engine, and request the two to brief you on any one of the years forementioned, and watch the race - watch as man beats technology hands down. But try asking the two to brief you on year AD 1. You must never inquire from an historian about year AD 1, unless your inquiry is aimed at identifying talent unrecgnised in the art of comedy. Otherwise it wouldn't be fair; for no one really knows excatly when year AD 1 was, and even funny is that the people who were alive at that time never knew the year was year AD 1. It's one year you rarely encounter in history textbooks, if at all it's ever quoted in such.
