Damn crazy to think this was 99 years ago... And it'll be a whole century next year!

Once, ages ago, I tried to correct the math of the Editors of Shacknews' math and like you, I was wrong. I made it to the front page of ShackNews the next night, haha. I used the same user name as I used on a forum with my friends, so my friends all found it out, haha.
