 I have a question here. Does CE and BCE not have the year zero?
I can r
ecall during the "millennium" celebrations arguing with some as to when t
he "millennium" truly strated. i said that because of the year zero, that
 2001 is the true start of the millennium and of course the 21st century,
 using BC and AD système of course.
