Actually, there WAS a year "zero" - just like every other thing that
celebrates a birthday or an anniversary. The problem is that the dumbbells
who came up with the calendar several hundred years later FORGOT TO PUT IT
IN!
We now have a rare opportunity to correct this mistake once and for all by
re-doing the year 1999 in place of the missing year zero. This will, among
other beneficial effects, result in a postponement of the Y2K crisis for a
full year and resultant full employment for computer programmers
