Wow, you've got some flaws in there, buddy. There was never a year 0 (because you don't start counting at 0, you start counting at 1) and 1 A.D. was when Jesus died. Wasn't the Roman Empire called the Byzantine Empire by 476? Okay, end of my asshole rant.


Cute idea.

Hmm...yes... okay, I'll give you that. Thanks, I never even thought of that! I've been a complete chronological bigot! But now my eyes are open! Thank you, wilka91! Thank you!

 

[Bongfarmer]

1) Thats not taught in schools (atleas tits not in Canada)
2) Byzantine
3) America was discovered by europeans long before that
5) Some Japanese soldiers on secluded islands were still 'at war' after the surrender, but yeah your right

If we can nitpick enough the entire list is wrong, except the last part of course

You seem to think that was sarcasm. It wasn't.

november 15th, 2004: the day that a meteor hits the earth somewhere in seattle and kills everyone there. Millions of HL2 fanboys then commit suicide in front of Vivendi's gates before the world breaks apart.

[MiccyNarc]

Actually, it was 8 BC when Christ was born, I believe. He died in AD 24.

But don't quote me on that

 

[FunkeyPunk]

They don't have tits in canada?And yes HL2, will be taught in history class for ages, all will rejoice.

 

[boomyak]

we? please don't associate me with the USA, i drink blue not bud, i'm canadian! but seriously, i was referencing to the misnomer that america was "discovered" in 1492, actually people had "known" about it for thousands of years, some of them even lived there! or so the story goes

 

[jaguar_987]

Man I love the French Revolution. One of the more interesting wars that took place.

 

[silverstealth89]

you forgot WW1

 

[Steve]

we? please don't associate me with the USA, i drink blue not bud, i'm canadian! but seriously, i was referencing to the misnomer that america was "discovered" in 1492, actually people had "known" about it for thousands of years, some of them even lived there! or so the story goes

I wasn't associating YOU with the United States. I was speaking for the United States as a whole, hence "we". Since I'm not a beer drinker, I judge the quality of beer by the quality of its commercials. Labatt Blue wins hands down. I want a giant pez dispenser that puts out beer!

 

[boomyak]

yeah, those were the good old days when class warfare was class mother****in warfare. when a knight would be beheaded and roasted on a spit over a fire in front of his family only after his wife is defiled infront of they're children, then they all get skewered too. ahh the good old days, now "class warfare" is anyone trying to raise the question of the effectiveness of the the establishment. umm, excuse me? me and my family are real hungry and.. "CLASS WARFARE! CLASS WARFARE!"

sorry, that was uncalled for

Wow, you've got some flaws in there, buddy. There was never a year 0 (because you don't start counting at 0, you start counting at 1) and 1 A.D. was when Jesus died. Wasn't the Roman Empire called the Byzantine Empire by 476? Okay, end of my asshole rant.


Cute idea.

actually, 1 A.D is called 1 A.D because it was the year christ was BORN. A.D means "anno dommini" which means "the year of the lord" if B.C meant that it was before christ, and christ died in 1 A.D, wouldn't that leave a thirty year gap in time? Therefore, Christ died somewhere around A.D 30. And our calculations were wrong, and he was born around 4 B.C.

(edit, nevermind, some other guy beat me to it)
