01 May 05 - 04:40 AM (#1475524) Subject: BS: Anniversary of War From: wildlone I was listening to some of Tom Lehrer's songs and on the intro of So Long Mom he talks about it being the anniversary of various wars,{it must have been 1965}. This got me thinking. 2005 200th anniversary Trafalgar, 190th anniversary Waterloo, 140th anniversary end of the war of northern aggresion,[American civil war] 90th anniversary Gallipoli, 60th anniversary end WWII, 30th anniversary end of Vietnam war Anybody think of any more. dave |
