Hey, this is OT! No whining about how lousy everything since Civ2 has been... 
Yeah, well, the impact of bridges tends to be highly localized.

Actually, that's a fun game. I spotted another one!
Even if, in Oerdin's strange counter-factual reality, FDR ordered the construction of the Golden Gate Bridge, he sure didn't do it 75 years ago. 75 years ago was when the bridge was finished, not when it was begun or ordered.Originally posted by Dinner View Post

Several posts later.
However if you insist that your statement of "It's been 75 years since President FDR ordered the construction of San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge as part of an infrastructure project designed to improve America and fight the great depression." was made while fully knowing the construction dates then it is your math skills I am more concerned about.Captain of Team Apolyton - ISDG 2012

OK, let's search for the source of this miscommunication. When I said, in the OP, that the bridge was now 75 years old... How did you not understand that they started counting from the completion date?

2012 - 75 = 1937It's been 75 years since President FDR ordered the construction of San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge
Was the construction of the bridge ordered in 1937? No......Comment

OK, that was a typo then. I did say construction started in 1934 and was completed in 1937 though so this is just nitpicking.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.Comment

For the record, construction on the Golden Gate Bridge began on January 5th, 1933. Oerdin is always wrong, etc.Originally posted by Dinner View PostComment

Actually the thing I always remember is that someone mentioned that painting the bridge is non stop. When they finish it's time to start again.It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

Same as the Forth Bridge in Scotland
Far more impressive IMO! I actually thought the Golden Gate bridge was pretty boring, to be honest...
Also USS Missouri > USS Iowa IMO.Comment
