    Probably because zero was a mathematical construct invented wayyyyy after the invention of counting years ;)

    But basically if I remember rightly it was invented to help counting above 9 but keeping the numbers small - numbers and numerics I think :cool:

    (Sorry I am a numbers nerd :D)

    Depends how fast he digs and where, but if the Earth's crust is between 10km and 70km thick, with an average of 40kms thick and he used the drill that they used for this:
