17. Back again for 2010

One of the hardest things to believe is what year it is. 2010 A.D?

Are you sure?

Not in Thailand, where the year is currently 2553 B.E

If you live in an Islamic country, we are now in the year 1431 A.H

Chinese ‘New Year’, which just passed on Saturday Feb 13th, means it is probably the year 4707, counting from the first year of the Yellow Emperor’s Reign, but according to some official calendars it is really ‘The 98th Year of the Republic.’

“He doesn’t even know what year he’s in....” doesn’t seem like such a mark of stupidity after all.
