At no point in my HS history class did our teacher mention that she was alive and living a few hours away from us.

To be fair, I'd say teaching you guys should be proof enough of her non-corpse status that she didn't have to tell you outright ๐คท
Cleopatra lived closer to the moon landing than the construction of the great pyramids in Egypt.
And the tyrannosaurus rex lived closer to said moon landing than to time the stegosaurus existed too.
Really that's interesting
Jurassic Park was one lie after another.
It is a movie. Not a documentary.
It was tongue in cheek.
I genuinely love that movie.
Imagine if we still had racism in the distant futuristic year of 2000 ...
The Doritos Locos taco at Taco Bell has been around longer than the Confederate States of America ever was.
Buuut, the Confederacy lasted twice as long as Pepsi Crystal.
Most things fit that description. I have tires on my truck that fit that description.
Which means that Shrek could have been Rosa Parks's favorite movie of all time.
I just want to know what her favorite Pokemon was
Please. It's was clearly diglet.
'Member that song "74-75" by The Connells? That was a big hit in the Nineties.
We're now at 31 years after the release of this single and 49 years after the class of 1975 graduated.
From 1843 to 1865, Abraham Lincoln could have sent a fax to a samurai.
Did Japan have any fax lines though? Unless you're talking about a samurai that left Japan
He was visiting the US
It was brought up in the movie, "Lincoln", that the "Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection" by Charles Darwin was already published at the height of the US Civil War. Somehow, I disassociate the two events as being on completely different time period.
Lincoln and Darwin were born in the same year, 1809.
And to really blow your mind: Charles Dickens was born 3 years later, and not, say, a hundred years before.
If you were born in 1976 or earlier, your birthday is closer to the production of the Ford Model T than it is to today. Have a nice day :)
I miss horns that went auUUUga
I'd kick your arse if my knees weren't fucked
I'd help you except for my back
I'd help you but I'm in the middle of fucking that guy's knees
Can I watch?
I've posted about this before but Rosa Parks lived long enough to sue OutKast in 1999 over their use of her name in their song 'Rosa Parks'.
I was around for all of this, and I know this. But it still seems very strange.
That also means, if Anne Frank and MLK, were alive today, they would only be in their 90s.
95, to be precise. Only two years older than William Shatner.
And younger than Jimmy Carter
If only she hadn't bought that drum kit.
I'm an older millennial, born 1984, recently turned 40.
My gramps was born 1909. Not only was he alive during WW2, he was of fighting age. Not only did he fight in WW2, he was actually one of the oldest guys in his unit, seeing as he was over 30 when he got drafted.
WW2 and other first half of the 20th century shit isn't anywhere as far back in time as it feels it is.
I remember my great-grandma talking about picking cotton in the field one day, and being scared out of her mind when an airplane flew over her head. She'd come to Texas from California on a covered wagon, had never lived in a home with electricity, and hadn't heard about the flying machine being invented.
I helped her set up an email account about a year before she died.
You and I were both born closer to WW2 than to today.
What always gets me is Pablo Picasso died in 1973. For some reason I always thought he was around a century or two earlier.
