What's 00600 CE? Is it just 600 CE?

Is that the notation historians use, or what's the reasoning?

Yes, it's just 600 CE! It's not the notation historians use; it's just a bit of thought-provoking fun. It also has the advantage of really pissing off the kind of mindless conformists who beat up gay people, hackers, and anybody else who seems "odd" or "queer"!

uuuhm, okay :D Are you implying I'm homophobic, or what?
No, you just asked a perfectly reasonable question! I didn't get the sense that you were vilifying me at all.
