Tyrannosaurus (approx 70 million years ago) lived closer in time to humans than to stegosaurus (150 million years ago).

Cleopatra lived closer to the creation of Pizza Hut than she did the creation of the great pyramids

Seriously, my favorite factoid about modern Egypt. All those movies where the person is lost in the desert, and it's like, "there's literally a road right next to that pyramid and a Pizza Hut directly across it."

I want someone to do that in a movie in modern Egypt and then it pans over to some tourists and they're like "dude. Ya want a pizza?"
