Today is the 100th Bloomsday! And I'm not even in Dublin!

101st surely? Assuming that the first one was in 1904 :)

A pretty standard error then.

In their defence they don't say it's the 100th Bloomsday. The phrase "Bloomsday 100" can be read to mean that it's the 100th anniversary of the first Bloomsday. Would need to be a pretty sympathetic reading tho :)

I think its actually pretty standard to celebrate the anniversary of a day. (Especially a day like Bloomsday which is conjured into existence 20+ years after the fact.)
