to be REALLY picky and REALLY off topic: it's 6 years late. the new
testament says Herods (Hordus) died when baby Jesus was 2 years old,
when historicly we can fix his death at 4 B.C. Herods life and actions
are well documented in many historions' books from the period, Jesus'
lifetime story is made up of rumors, scraps of details and lots of
fairytale :-)
so we are actually (roughly) about to switch from 2005 to 2006 in a
month. Next on the Jewish computing horizon: how to avoid the Y6k bug!
and to return to the topic - behold my random sig! :-)
