Seeing _the fall of the wall_ is not that remarkable. Fact is that if someone experienced Kennedy’s death and the moon landings it is very probable that they also remember when the wall was built.

The other day I was thinking about such things and realized that soon children will wonder about the stories of people getting lost. With the MPS getting more and more popular, the concept of getting lost will go the way of the horse and carriage.

:eek: [sup]you mean they had to go into the woods without an MPS?[/sup]
