A quickfire question from the ministry of misinformation.

@kv83: First think, then talk. There isnt even any evidence that Jezus ever really existed (except the bible, but there is no evidence that the bible is true).

Actually, yes there is. I'd go dig up information, but I don't have time now. Perhaps I will later.

There is a great deal of evidence that he existed. Whether he was the son of God or not is up to debate, but that's not something that's going to happen on these forums without name calling and bickering, so I think we should stop therr

Parliament issued an apology in the year 2000 that they knew they had built "the Millenium dome" and had organised everything a year early, but they were pandering to the requests of the misinformed public.

There are Roman records that say a rebellion ,er uprising, was quelled that was led by a person named Jesus.....

I remember that from a film I watched in theology class...

I meant Jesus as 'the son of God', i know there may have been someone called Jezus.

I hear a religious debate coming along.....

I heard some years were skipped or something? Which years were 'lost' and when/who decided this?

[tr1p1ea]

I dont really know about all this, and i also dont really care.

Religous debates are never EVER resolved, so its best to steer clear of them.

befroe jesus there wasn't any BC or AD. so it really doesn't have anything to do with when a century starts.

Jesus never lead a rebellion. Both rebellions against Rome were lead by a group of Jewish rebels known as Zealots. Jesus was never a Zealot and neither did he support them.

there were some lost days, 15 to be exact. The Julian calendar wasn't exactly correct, so when to changed it to the Gregorian calendar they had to skip those extra days to make the calendar good again.

I don't know about lost years though

10 days, not 15. 1582/10/04 was followed by 1582/10/15.

Yeah, you're probably right. Where did i get that 15 then?

Yep. And nice to see dates in a sensible order.
Loads of sites use MM-DD-YYYY which confuses the hell out of me... why use "mixed-endian" dates, as it were?
