That's pretty cool but what does "C.E." stand for? I presume it is a politically correct replacement for A.D.

I hope nobody is trying to change BC or AD. We already got rid of an entire planet this year.

I think CE stands for Common Era and BCE is Before Common Era. And yes they are intended to replace BC and AD by the non-religious community.

That is pretty funny....they want to change what it is called but they know they could never get away with changing how the years are numbered.
