    I would believe The Simpsons than Futurame at predicting the future at the rate The Simpsons is racking them up.

    I'm adding a new rule to this thread (cos it's just too hard to do chronology once you've hit past 2018) and include any other real life number stuff that you can relate your collection count too, e.g. postcodes etc.

    My current count is the same as the postcode for Parramatta.

    Oh dear my history is very ancient.

    In 25BC, Rome was estimated to become the largest capital city in the world.

    In 25AD, the Han Dynasty was restored in China. Many Solo's rejoiced. (hurr hurr)

    When I was 25, which is 12 years ago, I was working for Adam Internet and still single. I hadn't started my collecting resurgence yet, but had started on Simon Furman's IDW run in TPB form (the -ations series and Stormbringer, as well as Spotlights). I remember that the modern take on classic characters reallly appealed to me.
