It's only 2016 CE in your Western calendar, based on an arbitrary date that's known to be wrong. Other calendars based on other start points have quite different dates ... |
|
|
Wouldn't it be better to use a fixed, known end-point as the datum (Such as 14 January 2018, when that asteroid's going to impact your planet), and count down to that ? |

Here's an email I sent a while ago: |

> Yours, <etc> |

I realise that I used only the last two digits of the year, probably couldn't be bothered to wait 16 years... |
|
|
Signing yourself as "Yours, <etc>" to a parent is bad

|
|
//fixed, known end-point// Because we assume somebody will out-bid
and you'll end up fixing it again |

Yeah... actually I originally wrote my name but trimmed it off here for anonymity. |
|
|
// my birthday ... celebration shall be a cup of herbal tea. // |
|
|
If that's what passes for celebration where you live, it must be a very dull place ... |
|
|
You can talk, I've seen those big cubes. |

Hey, the Borg know how to party ... trust us on this. The karaoke is AMAZING ... |
|
|
Oh so you (pl.) are probably going to have a fairly significant party when it's [hippo's] _'cube'_ anniversary date? |
