Wow, that’s nuts. I hope they’re planning one hell of an event for their 1000 year anniversary in 16 years!

“1000 year anniversary” is absolutely bonkers.

Is it?

Yeah, I still fondly remember taking part in the 1200-year anniversary of my hometown in my youth, but it hasn't been *that* special.

I mean, most of the surrounding towns are older.

Doesn't the US literally have the word "New" in a crazy lot of names?

I mean, New York, New Hampshire, New Orleans...

There is a reason for that...

We are branded as old continent, my great great grandfather's house is still standing, it has been renovated and painted pink but it's still older than most of the countries today
