time, according to Dean

am babysitting my nine-year-old brother-in-law, who's been attending Sunday school. Conversation turned to tomorrow's date, which some hold to be the Devil's birthday (6/6 at 6, get it?). I enlightened him re the imperfection of the Gregorian calendar, in which Christ was actually born a few years BC. "Dean, did you know that BC means 'Before Christ' ?"

He nods knowledgeably, and contributes, "And AD means 'After Dinosaurs'."
