Naturally this decade (the teenies?) will be the decade of Trampoline Bouncing with Uncle Bertie!

Ah, but is 2010 the start of a new decade, or is it the last year of the old decade?
Surely we should be counting the decades like 1-10, 11-20, 21-30, etc. shouldn't we?
But what is Year 1, if you're not religious? Well, I'll tell you what Year 1 is, my dear friend. Year 1 was when the Big Bang happened.
So instead of BC and AD we should have BBB and ABB – Before Big Bang and After Big Bang. For example, many interesting things happened in BBB. Yes, that's right, things really did happen, because the Old Universe was busy shrinking down. It has recently been proven that this is how the dinosaurs died. The Universe became to small for them, and the sky crushed them as it came down.

But why should we stick to a flawed numbering system. Do we count birthdays from year one at birth? Then we shouldn't count by Year 1 anymore. Therefore Year Zero would make absolute sense. Then, when it was the year 100, it would really be a new century and so on and so forth!
But the date of the big bang keeps changing, and we'd have to change year zero as scientists get more and more accurate in counting the years.
Or maybe we could start from the year you started Uncle Bertie and make that, at the end of the day, Day One of Year Zero. We can start over afresh. (And hopefully we won't have what happened in the album Year Zero happen in real life.)

You're a flawed numbering system.
I definately think we should start worshipping Uncle Bertie as a kind of mythical Jesus figure, and therefore name the year system after him. BUB and AUB: Before Uncle Bertie and After Uncle Bertie.
So, I was born in 32 BUB, Lee was born in 33 BUB, you were born in 26 BUB and so on…

Well, I have to say, I love how young I suddenly am!
Calendars are so arbitrary. Maybe we could come up with a whole new month labeling system. The first month would be named Bertie. The second can be Norman. The third Danny. Etc.

I just thought of something. Maybe the monk who created the new calendar did it to merely make himself sound younger in age than he really was. Instead of thousands of years old he was merely hundreds.

We could also replace Christmas with Bertiemas, Easter with Spring festival celebrating Lee & Marcus making up after a falling-out, and an Autumn festival where we randomly set fire to things in celebration of the death of some hacker who tried to hack into our website but failed because his brother told us he was going to do it.

I'm all for this new calender system, although I'd like December 25th to be Squeaky Christmas.

Yes I would like a stick that I could climb that took me all the way to the moon. I am highly evolved being so I don't require oxygen.
