I'm just copying-pasting something that I got in my mail today, and, of course, I haven't bothered to check the facts... But still, I found it interesting enough to be posted here.

THE YEAR IS 1914

This will boggle your mind. It did mine!
********************* ***********
The year is 1914 --- One hundred years ago.
What a difference a century makes!
Here are some statistics for the Year 1914:
********************* ************​
