Institute Scholars Confront Kristaluthians on Dating Controversy

Roman Philosopher Pilate

The Mt. Palomine Institute of Mysteries is prepared to present evidence to the Erde Court at The Haug substantiating the widely-accepted belief that the calendar currently in use Erde-wide does date from the birth of the illustrious Roman philosopher Pilate, not from the historically earlier birth of the Kristaluthian cult prophet lumberjack who one day got the surprise of his life. Pilate was a Roman governor of what is now known as Western Puta Babylonia; he resigned from his Imperial Office rather suddenly one Friedesday afternoon, jogged like a demon back to Rometown, and wrote his eternal masterpiece, Belle et Pacem.
