Oh please...I was born before the collapse of the Berlin wall, and I'm only in my mid-thirties.

I was born just before the Chernobyl disaster. Which explains a lot of what's wrong with me, now coming to think of it...

Yes that's right, we possess arcane knowledge, as well as the knowledge of the sins and terrors of kings and chieftains past.
