The latest Neil deGrasse Tyson outrage, this time unjustified, got me to look at his Twitter feed again. And made me roll my eyes at the kind of stupidity Dr. I Love Science was tweeting.

FYI: Roman Numerals have no Zero. Invented after the Empire, which is why the traditional Christian calendar has no year Zero

@neiltyson it could also could be in part that we didn't start using the CE dating until 525 AD and was not common until the 800's
