Alright, it is really just a hypothesis, but it is fascinating in a completely insane way. The original hypothesis states the early middle ages never occurred. Charlemagne - fictional. Rise of Islam... well they think that happened, but just at some other time. They just believe that there are 300 years that have been randomly added to our calendar, with events occurring in that time period simply having been misplaced there. So it is supposed to be 1711, not 2008. Well actually, that isn't quite right. See that is the original hypothesis; however, more updated versions of the hypothesis are now arguing that over 1000 years of history is simply just recorded wrong and that we really need to rewrite history to account for these gross errors in our documentation.
I am working on a poem from this idea, but it isn't going well yet. I am thinking, however, that I might be able to come up with a great novel idea from this because I love stuff that is bat shit insane. I'm not going to argue that this is completely impossible, because it is possible, but it is quite unlikely. Here is a link to the wikipedia article on the subject.

Couldn't the missing years please be related to the Bush II years? Could we have a do-over?
