The last time the Chicago Cubs won a World Series, women were not allowed to vote.(The infamous cold streak by the Chicago Cubs baseball team extends back to 1908, when they won their second World Series. Women in the US acquired the right to vote in 1920.)

Will Smith is now older than Uncle Phil was at the beginning of "The Fresh Prince."(When James Avery (Uncle Phil) started on The Fresh Prince, he was 45-years-old. Today, Will Smith is slightly older than 45.)

Cleopatra lived closer to the building of Pizza Hut than the pyramids.(The Great Pyramid was built cerca 2560 BC, while Cleopatra lived around 30 BC. The first Pizza Hut opened in 1958, which is about 500 years closer.)

There was more time between the Stegosaurus and the Tyrannosaurus Rex than between Tyrannosaurus Rex and you. (The Stegosaurus lived 150 million years ago, while the T-Rex lived only 65 million years ago.)

The first pyramids were built while the woolly mammoth was still alive.(While most mammoths died out 10,000 years ago, a small population still survived until 1650 BC. By that point, Egypt was halfway through its empire, and the Giza Pyramids were already 1000 years old.)

The oldest living person's birth is closer to the signing of the Constitution than present day. (Misao Okawa was born in 1898, an astonishing 115 years ago. The Constitution was signed in 1787, which makes her life 4 years closer to the historic Philadelphia convention than to today.)

There are whales alive today who were born before Moby Dick was written. (Some of the bowhead whales living off the coast of Alaska are well over 200 years old. They were born well before Moby Dick was written in 1851, and might have been the very animals to inspire the tale.)

The fax machine was invented the same year people were traveling the Oregon Trail.(The first fax machine was developed by Alexander Bain in 1843, meanwhile The Great Migration began across America.)
