Heh. "In Europe, people think 100 miles is a long distance. In America, people think 100 years is a long time."#12: BlackCat (BlackCat) on Sep 21, 2016
At Oxford University, New College was founded in 1379. It is called "New" College because Oxford was founded in 1096 (roughly).
Very, very nice.#13: CB Paul (cbpaul) on Sep 21, 2016

John's quote in #11 is one of my favorites. A fun bit of comparative history is that Oxford University was created before the Aztec empire had even begun.#15: Joanne Firla (JoFirla) on Apr 28, 2023
