Hey Canadians

I bought something from a guy in Canada on another board and he wrapped it in newspaper.. I was checking out the paper and saw the date was "Year 183, No. 194". What the crap does that mean? It also says the real date in the other corner though.. The paper is called "The Recorder & Times" if you care.

"Year 183, No. 194".

Its reeeeaaaaally old

Oh jeez.......how ignorant are you Americans???

The resto of the world (except for the US and Myanmar) use the metric system!!!

Haven't you heard of the metric calender??

(oh the ignorance.............)

i believe that 183 would be the 183rd year the paper has been in buissness and the 194 is the 194th edition of the paper that has printed for the year

i dunno about 183 but here in the usa its 2004. :D

The date said August 19 2004.. only a week old

i believe that 183 would be the 183rd year the paper has been in buissness and the 194 is the 194th edition of the paper that has printed for the year

I would agree with Adam here. :1:

i still dont get am i lost :rofl: (looks around)

In 1821 Sir Charles Tupper was born, and years later he became Prime Minister of Canada. The changes he instated were so revolutionary that we moved to the Tupper Calender to honor him, and all of our time is measured in years AT (After Tupper). This is the year 183 AT, but we also print our calenders in regular time for foreigners.

hahaha
right it was really changed for him

Do the top of canadians' heads really move up and down when they talk?
