17th century sailors did 9/11.

Which itself is quite suspicious since the ship was from the 18th century

Good catch. Gotta learn to read my own thread title before making corny jokes!

That always got me. I understand WHY the "18th century" covers the span of 1700-1799, but it's kind of wacky to make that mental leap when people are talking about "the 18th century." I always have to mentally do the math in my head "ok 18th century, that means it's actually a hundred years before what you think...or is it a hundred years after? No, it's the 1700s."

They didn't like the idea of the century changing and that's why they did it...
