I just had a big laugh over the _Test Poll: Ignore_ that’s not being ignored. I am so curious if the reverse will work. Please respond to this thread. I don’t even care what (if anything) you might say in the response. ---

I love the concept of time-jumping as I call it. Two facts on this: 1. John Tyler, 10th president of the U.S. was born in 1790. He still has two grandchildren living covering four centuries in three generations. 2. The B-52 is the primary long-range strategic bomber for the U.S. Air Force. It was conceived in the 1940’s and the last planes rolled off the line in the early 1960’s. It isn’t scheduled for possible retirement until at least 2040 when the planes themselves are about 80 years old. Defense contractors have tried to come up with superior replacements over the years but none has been able to do it yet. Bonus fact: My grandfather is the grandchild of one of the last surviving Civil War soldiers and was in a Life magazine photoshoot for it that I recently got a copy of. My great-great grandfather died in 1950 and saw some amazing developments over his lifetime. My grandfather isn’t doing too badly himself. I am only one family member removed from a Civil War soldier. Pretty cool. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/please-reply-to-this-thread/582778.md?page=2)
