[up] Now it's 40. I miscounted my hashes.

[up][up] I was mainly thinking of common things that we take for granted today that people don't always realize didn't exist 85 years ago, forgoing the obvious internet, cellphones, TV, etc. The title has been adjusted accordingly.

I'm drafting the post containing two of your lists so far.

Since Blogger doesn't support hottips, and it won't let me HTML-ize them in, I'm manually copying and pasting the content into parenthesis.

Okay, after watching a certain Let's Play on youtube, I am very tempted to do a Let's Play as one of my characters.
