Standing the Test of Time.

The thing about our youth is that we tend to mix and match our ages. He’s 19, she’s 23, the other guy and girl is 43 combined. So what? Who cares? The truth is nobody does! Age is just a number! 

Right.

But there are rare occasions, where those numbers add up. 

This post is dedicated (a very small dedication based on the frequency of this happening i.e. zero to none) to you , and those who’ve gotten themselves into a ridiculously heated debate with someone in their age range (say 8-12 months, give or take).

What was the heated debate about you ask? Pfft. Don’t even get me started.

As to why was it heated?

Haha, long story short, it came down to whose birth year kicked the other’s birth year’s ass. 

 Theawesome Year of the Dragon ( my birth year, 1988) vs. The - to put it as it is - Year of the Snake (his, 1989)

Now, although we were picking awesome inventions for our year, like captains on a team, we didn’t get very far because we simply didn’t know the facts.

I found a great site that covered more than inventions.

You betcha. It even went down to the nitty gritty - Pop Culture!

Having looked at the chart, I definitely think that the…errr… movie ‘A Fish called Wanda’,totally trumps over ‘Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade’. Yeaaaaahh, hands down! Way to go 1988! 

Anyways, you be the judge. 

**If you’re not born in these two years, but want to have a historical showdown with your friend simply copy this link:  http://www.thepeoplehistory.com/1988* .html and replace the year (that’s highlighted in bold italics) with yours. (:
