By the way . . .

November 9, 1987 is Julian Day  2447109.

This would place the event that the Julian system celebrates in the 5th 
millenium B.C. (Approximately 4700 at 365 days/year).  I can't recall what the 
supposed event was, but obviously it was calculated and not 'historically' 
recorded.

Anyone out there know what it was?
