And that the US Constitution is actually the oldest codified constitution in the world - something many Europeans are unaware of. The US has an uninterrupted history as a political entity of 230 years now, going back to a time when most of Europe was some absolutist monarchy.

As I understand it, the Sammarinese constitution isn’t codified in a single document, although it is not as dispersed as those of Britain or Israel, or New Zealand, whose constitutions consist of a wide range of individual statutes.
When I was a kid in the 1980s, the “oldies” radio station played music from the 1950s and 60s, music that was around 20-30 years old at the time. If we continued using that same age as the definition, then music from bands like Nirvana and Pearl Jam would be solidly in the oldies category today.
The plot of Forrest Gump(1994) involves Lt. Dan investing early on in a “fruit company”, which is revealed to be Apple. This investment sets up both of them to be multi-millionaires by the events of the movie.
If someone had ran out and bought $10,000 in Apple stock after seeing Forrest Gump in the theater in 1994, the shares would be worth (after splits) about $6 million today.
