“Pulp Fiction Not So Distant Past…. If Only They Had a Fire Hydrant Near By …..and Thanks for the purchase-Here’s Your Building”

“Pulp Fiction” was in theaters closer to the moon landing than to today.  It came out in 1994, which was 25 years after the moon landing . . . and 26 years from right now.

No one knows for sure when the fire hydrant was invented . . . because the patent was lost in a fire at the U.S. patent office in 1836.

Amazon named one of its buildings in Seattle after its first customer.  He’s a software engineer named John Wainwright who bought a computer book for $27.95 in 1995.
