Description

Let the old folks read the old history books because this is history for the new generation. Who cares which king lived when and what church burned down this or that date’ Who cares what year a certain war started, who won and why the hell they were fighting in the first place’ I don’t, and you probably don’t either. Time has come for a change. I want to know when internet first started and who the heck invented it! I want to know what year ice cream, Seinfeld and sunglasses were invented. I want to know when porn got huge and tennis shoes became popular.
