Hmm... It's in the DB General Discussion forum, so I don't think it's Jesus or Santa...

I'm guessing... You had a psychotic fit and and imagined that Freeza was at your door selling Mary Kay Lavender Lipstick?

Oh, and do I get a cigar if I'm right?

Numbers 19 and 20. Although you are 1237 years too far ahead in the future. :-P

And in a completely different universe.

Y'know, that always struck me as weird. Why'd they make those years so far in the past, and not in the future. And if it was an alternative universe type thing, why'd they have AD after them?

Wasn't it just using the non-Christian calendar? (Hindu?)

Surely the Hindu callender does not put AD after all it's years?

Er...nooooo... O_o

Did Dragonball? I only remember they're being in the late 800s, and the non-Christian calendar is in the 800s so I figured...

It was the late 700's I belive, and yes, the dates ended in A.D.

My Agnosticism and thus lack of extensive religious knowledge bars me from discussing, but I DO know AD is a Jesusy thing. So... just a nuance I guess.

Xyex, 767 to be exact. :-)

Hmm, when did Journey to the West take place? Maybe that's the reason.

Journey to the West was written in the 1500s, but doesn't tell exactly when the story takes place.

The story's supposed to take place much further back in the past than when it was written though.

As you mentioned, it's an alternate universe. "AD" might stand for something totally different from "Anno Domini". Maybe it's referencing the creation of the Dragon Balls? Or possibly the death of the previous god?

"Much longer before then"?

Carry on like that, girl, and I'll strip you of that "goddess" title, and replace it with a new title. Something like "Warning, dodgy English ahead!"
