Things younger than Republican Presidential candidate (oh, and did I forget to mention war hero?) John McCain

The Flamingo Hotel in Vegas is younger than John McCain.

While the “El Rancho Vegas” and the “Pair-O-Dice” were the first gambling resorts on or around the Strip, it wasn’t until the development of The Flamingo that the mob came in and things got good. (And they would stay good until 1996, when an otherwise great movie would have every schmoe and his brother running around saying “Vegas, baby, Vegas”.)

I seem to be getting a lot of first time visitors to the site lately… and a lot of them hit the wall around page 3. So I thought I’d make it a little easier for people to find the older stuff by putting together a very unscientific list of the top posts (based on page views, number of comments, ones that I think really help make my case, and ones that I just thought were funny)… and here they are:

Scrabble is younger than John McCain.

How fortuitous. What might very well be the world’s most boring game is actually younger than might very well be the countries most boring Senator (although there certainly are some quality contenders in that field).
By the way, I tried to rearrange these letters in Photoshop to spell out “He is really old” but it looked like crap. If anyone wants to take a stab at it, send it my way and I’ll give you credit.

UPDATE: EpicWes did a great job re-working the image… thanks very much! It’s just right!
