    You shave to remove the "s" in http. Then it works.

    On a similar note, construction on Neuschwanstein Castle stopped in 1892, so by the time Disneyland opened in 1955 it was just over 60 years old. Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland, which was based on Neuschwanstein, will be turning 60 this year. It's amazing how quickly the second 60 years passed, in comparison to the first 60 (though I've only been alive for the most recent few decades myself)

    The one that always gets me is that Back to the Future is 30 years old this year. That's how far back in time Marty went, so it's been as long since the movie came out that the film tried to show this huge shift in time. I wonder if kids today look at 1985 with the same sense of bewildered awe I looked at 1955 when I saw that movie. 1955 feels like light years away from me (I was born in the '70s), but 1985 feels like it was yesterday.
