What year is this?

If memory serves, there is no 0 A.D. or 0 B.C.. So Janurary 1, 1 A.D. was the first day of the first year after the birth of Jesus (that's Jesus, the Christ, son of God, our lord and saviour - not Jesus Gonzales, 2711 N. Holly St., Austin, TX). Therefor December 31, 1 B.C.  is the day before Jan. 1, 1 A.D.. Yet this is clearly after the designated birthday of Jesus; Dec. 25 and therefor cannot be accurately be call Before Christ.

So how do historians designate any important events that happened during this six day period. Not that there very many, with due deference, of course, to Mary's coming home from the hospital... err, manger... shower. For that matter how do they desginate the actual day of christ's birth, would that be D.D. - Dieo Domini for day of our lord, or would that be A.C. for At Christ.

And whats the deal with one acronym being latin and the other not. For those that are wondering, and they must number in the thousands, if not millions, i suppose the latin equivalent to B.C. would be P.D. for Preeo Domini - before our Lord.

Hack wanted.

OK, a little exersice in thinking outside the box, or boxes in this case. :)

Inside a large wharehouse is a self-contained Level 5 viral quarantine room of plexiglass, it has one entrance, likewise sealed and locked, the only codes were know by the two men inside the room, who are now dead from the virus that has been released from a broken vial also on the floor of the room. Along with the various equipment inside the room is a smaller plexiglass box, also with a level 5 seal and locked with the same codes as the room, with two uninfected mice and enough air for the mice to survive approximately 48 hours.

Your task: retrieve the mice safely without infecting anyone or the mice, AND without destroying the virus.

Note: the virus can survive in a vacuum.

Questions may be asked.

Ready, steady...hack.

AHRRR-igato?

Well,  I haven't posted in a coons age... how long is a coons age exactly, or even roughly for that matter, and why a racoon (and i do hope to God it is a <i>ra</i>coon that is being refered to) and not say, oh i don't know, a beaver or a sloth -- now that would make sense. But i'm rambling, i'll start over.

Well, I haven't posted in a sloth's age, but i had a burning question that needed answering, so I thought i would get on my cyber-soap-box and ask the digital void.

Are you ready for it...

Or everything.

Think about it.

Guys, feel free to get your ladyfreind's opinions before answering, though answering without said opinion will be enlightening just the same.
