No kidding. History, it seems, is 2 weeks ago, tops, when you were born, if you're a pro DIY historian. I kid you not, some kids here answered Iraq and North Korea when the question was "which nations made up the Axis powers during WW2?". I'm surprised they didn't ask back "whaaah? They used axes in WW2?"
