Just my luck. I need to print a research paper for school and my printer's broken. Where's a typewriter when you need it?

Tutunga (that's my Indian name) wants to know more. What is this "Trombone razor-burn." Sounds like a band name. Where do you get it? People shave a lot of places.

Hmm. Chicken or the egg?

Anno Domini (abbreviated as AD or A.D., sometimes found in the irregular form Anno Domine) and Before Christ (abbreviated as BC or B.C.) are designations used to number years in the Julian and Gregorian calendars. The calendar era to which they refer is based on the traditionally reckoned year of the conception or birth of Jesus, with AD denoting years after the start of this epoch, and BC denoting years before the start of this epoch. There is no year zero in this scheme, so the year AD 1 immediately follows the year 1 BC.

For computational reasons astronomers use a time scale in which AD 1 = year 1, 1 BC = year 0, 2 BC = year −1.

So the first AD decade was 1-10. Taking this in, I would have to go with 2001-2010. 10 years comprises a decade and at 0 AD(technically birth of Christ) doesn't really exist. You can argue that 0 isn't a number and only acts a place holder. That's how we treat it in analysis and statistics.

Exactly. There was no year zero. The first decade AD was 1 through 10. The current decade began January 1, 2001 and ends December 31, 2010.

I've got a few

Physics Class

Chem Class

Knowing that by this time next year I will be so busy with school that the only way possible for me to get any action is if I tape a wig to my textbooks.

People on E-bay that bid in the last few minutes but don't have a higher max bid then you, so while you get the item of the auction they have jacked up the price.

Drunk people in my neighborhood who leave beer cans and solo cups everywhere possible (including the lawn) every effin weekend

Taxes

E-Mail Spammers

People that have car stereos that are so loud I can fell my brain rattling in my skull as I walk past them.

People who insist on driving everywhere in their car when they have two perfectly functioning legs.

Can you tell toady was not a good day good me
