What? The year changes?
As for time on Mars, how about Babylon 5 where they used "Earth Standard" as a measurement. After all until we find anyone who has a different clock we can use ours. |

A.F - After Ford, meaning the godlike automobile genious Henry Ford. Has anyone here read Huxley's Brave New World?

I think the year 1999 should be year 0. That was when Ben Milder started up the Tolkien Trail.

How about A.L.?
(=After Lord of the Rings. Though that'll only confirm all the disbel...the Tolkien-bashers' suspicions)

Since RotK hit theatres last year, we could just call this the Fourth Age like they did in the books after the Ring was destroyed.

Maybe Tolkien's birth? Publication date of LotR? Date of the famous, 'In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit.'??? |

Yeah, I believe 'In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit' day would be a good date to call year 0. That's when all the trouble about the Ring began.

Anyway - if anything - we will base the Fourth Age on the publishing date of RotK. Not those hollywoodize crap action movies. One of the writers would probably have to explain to Jackson what the different ages were and that there was a Fourth Age.

It was incredibly awesome. I'm glad I went and I'm glad we waited and went directly to Times Square. Trish and I were going to go to the Twin Towers and then head back up to Times Square, but then when we got off the train we decided that if we were going to be in Times Square for New Years - we wanted to be right in the heart of it - not on some side street or too far away to really see.
