  2. 2051? I sure hope I'm NOT around!

    So why do you suppose they opening it in 2051 which is 74 years later - not 50, 75 nor 100 years later - but 74? Seems odd.

  3. Well. If ya figure the dates 'to' 2051, ya actually get 76 years. So I guess that figures into the whole spirit of 76 thingy. It would be 76 years 'to' that date, but actually into the 77th. year.

    How do I know this? I have no idea.

    Possibly.
