Happy Tea Party Day!
 

Today is the anniversary of the Boston Tea Party. On this day in 1773,
American colonists rose up against the oppression of British rule in
an anti-tax protest we know today as the Boston Tea Party. Dressed as
Native Americans these patriots stormed a British merchant ship and
dumped tea into Boston Harbor, setting in motion a chain of events
which would eventually lead to the American Revolution.

Just thought you'd like to know that. More on the subject.

Thanks, Tim.

Interestingly, the year 1773 can also be written AD 1773, where 'AD' is the
abbreviatiion for 'Anno Domini'.

"The term Anno Domini is Medieval Latin, translated as In the year of (the/Our)
Lord. (from Wikipedia)

I suppose the use of the Gregorian calendar must be abominable to atheists,
agnostics, et al. Maybe we can adopt the Chinese calendar in a few years.

I just thought that was interesting.

Happy Tea Party Day!

The proper non-religious term is CE, for common era, to avoid religious
connotations common to the Gregorian and Julian calendars. At least Pope
Gregory and Julius Caesar were exactly who we knew they were, eh?
