that if you took the essence of NakedApe and condensed it down by just 29%, you'd end up with a nugget of idiocy so powerful it would alter the earth's orbit and tear a hole in the fabric of time?

Time is longer than you think
The Viking sacking of Lindisfarne happened in 793 AD, it was a monastary dedicated to Jesus Christ who traditionally was born in 0 AD. Because those two dates are so long ago to modern eyes, they seem relatively close together. Or at least much closer together than they actually are.

The equivalent time from 2011 would be Christ having been born in 1218 AD, which is a long-ass time ago.
