Or, perhaps to place it for a populace that has no other frame of reference for the item.

you = half empty
me = half full

just a thought.

If you notice, those kind of cultural references always serve the left, it is how they create a cultural memory and rewrite history.

It is how they created a fake history for J Edgar Hoover, or JFK or Republican Presidents.

Watergate lives and is kept fresh in the memory of America, but the Clinton impeachment was never hammered into the national consciousness and has been allowed to fade even from the memory of people that witnessed it.

Thanks Free ThinkerNY.
...hidden by the same knights who featured in The Da Vinci Code has been found in a dig. The four-inch Roman relic, stored in an ornate box, was uncovered by archaeologists working at a fort thought to have been a former Knights Templar stronghold. It was buried with three skeletons and three swords, including one with the religious order's cross on its blade, on the tiny island of Ilheu de Pontinha, off Madeira.

Ahh, relics. Now that was the business to get into during the middle ages.

The funniest satire I ever read was by Mark Twain in his two books "Innocents Abroad" and "A Tramp Abroad". To paraphrase, he said after touring Europe that he had seen enough nails to fill a keg, enough splinters to reconstruct the true cross and enough bones of Peter to reconstruct the saint.

That nails down that period of time to the first century.

That is hilarious and fitting too.
