I've been waiting for someone to comment about the Bachman ad on page 29 of the October MR. Unless I missed it, no one has.
They're touting their new Spectrum ten-wheeler. According to the ad, it's "Based on a catalog-standard Baldwin built in the early nineteenth century"!
Just think - The John Bull, the Best Friend, and the Casey Jones all pulling those funny "stagecoach" cars. The folks at EarlyRail will be overjoyed :-).
Like, oh, 1901, eh? Confirms my suspicions that all those piercings in proximity to office equipment give off stupid rays.
No, early 19th Century means in the early 1800s.
1801 to 1900 = 19th Century.1901 to 2000 = 20th Century
2001 to 2100 = 21st Century.We are currently in the 21st century.

Make that _some of us_!
For myself, my hobby is in the late 1920s, my outlook in the 1960s and my computer early 1990s. I forget where/when I left most of my hair!

Hey, hair is easy to find. Remember everything sags with age. My hair just sagged and slipped down to become my beard

Either that, or you put your head on upside down this morning!

I'm pretty sure I had it with the biro by the couch.
Of course, I know that; but someone in the ad agency evidently doesn't.
