There’s a small matter I trip over regularly in the Allusionist:
Dates.
Not the fruit.
Specicially, the terms BC and AD, Before Christ and Anno Domini (‘the year of the Lord’ (‘the Lord’ also being Christ)). How did Jesus Christ get to be all up in our system of counting the years?
There’s more about the episode at http://theallusionist.org/abdc.
