That was the year someone first hacked the Gibson.
The Italian poet and writer Giovanni Boccaccio crashed the wedding of Isabella of France, the queen of France who sustained massive acid burn injuries on her genital parts. They could never have kids cause she was pretty much a Barbie doll down there (it all melted together into just a flat piece of skin). She was so impressed by him they soon became known as crash'n'burn...
Crash was so frustrated by her genitals, he became gay and had an affair with mister John Gibson Kukuzelis (Byzantine composer, singer and reformer of Orthodox Church).
Gibson was pushing Giovanni "crash" Boccaccio too hard to confess to Isabella that he was gay that one day, while Gibson was sleeping, Crash took an axe and hacked the Gibson.
He then became a member of the elite woodworker society and proceeded to hack the planet.
That happened in the year 1337, a plebian became elite. And that's why we refer to 1337 as elite.
