Judging from the poll results, Floyd should be more than happy with a 60/40 split in Manny's favor.

Don't ask me why they skipped year 0. It just ain't there - only retroactively.
example:
1950's = 1950-1959
it would be weird to count it as 1951-1960.
1950 wouldn't be in the 50's and 1960 would be counted as 1950's.

Obviously the most common way is to assume a year 0 and go from there (hence 2000 being the start of the current decade, 2010 beginning the new one, and so on), but if one really stops to think about the whole year 0/1AD/1BC thing... then everything kinda makes less sense overall.
So I guess the best thing to do is not to think about it at all and go with the masses. I only brought it up here because it seemed as though people were all but neglecting the concept of a decade beginning from 1 and ending with the 10 (i.e. 1991-2000). Certain idiots, then, had to take it further and onto a personal level. *shrug*
