Which is fun when it's coming from a guy whose nation is just over 500 years 
old, and was discovered, and populated, by Europeans.

Heck, my home town is three times older than the entire united states. The only

civilized, and thus has had a recorded history, for such a long time, as 
opposed to USA. :)
