View Full Version : 159 Years Ago
Fr8monkey Feb 06, 2009, 03:54 PM Do you know what it was like back in 1850, 159 years ago?
California became a state.
The State had no electricity.
The State had no money.
Almost everyone spoke Spanish.
There were gunfights in the streets.
So basically, it was just like California today.
Except the women had real breasts and the men didn't hold hands.
