What did the journalist expect? When you are born in the 90s, you aren't necessarily a 90s kid. This man was at best 10yo when the 90s ended and most likely a baby when 2000 came. The old man is right, only 90s kids will remember, and those were born in the 80s.
I wouldn't willingly go swim with jellyfish for whatever reason. Got sting as a teenager and the burn marks stayed printed onto my skin for well over a year.
You're right, he says last born in 1900, not 1990. What are the chances that a guys born before 1990 survived all of the people born in the 90s tho ?
