[QUOTE="altgeld88, post: 1868450, member: 2886"] I'd never considered that. It should indeed have been called the Assembly Rotunda. Of course, as a professor, "rotunda" would be far too pedestrian a term for him to use, so he invoked the impossible-to-pronounce name. He probably also obsessed about how the millennium ended properly on Dec 31, 2000 because there was no "year zero." I'm sure he both deplored and boycotted the Dec 1999 celebrations. :ROFLMAO: [/QUOTE]
