Your daily dose of "where did the time go?".

Vostok 1 was today in 1961, launching Yuri Gargarin into space. That was 62 years ago. 62 years before that was 1899...

Clearly, that is a lie.  I will not be swayed by your mathematical trickery!

More fun math with time:

The Vietnam War ended 4/30/1975. Forrest Gump came out 19 years later in 1994. That was 29 years ago.

The time milestone I've been hearing lately is "MTV began its programming longer ago than..."

More than likely, the difference between that and "MTV stopped showing music videos longer ago than..." is of no significant difference other than collecting a few more people to feel old.

Ive always been amazed that my maternal grandparents were both born in 1899.
