Okay LAST one: Back to the Future came out in 1985 and "the past" was 1955. If it came out today, Marty would be heading to 1990. The funny "he's so out of place" scenes would be about him not knowing how to use a landline and not having any idea how to look up info he needed.

In 1997, the Texas banker Andrew Beal noticed that for any solution of Aˣ+Bʸ=Cᶻ he could find, A,B,and C had a common factor (e.g. 3⁶+18³=3⁸, 3 is a common factor). There's currently a $1 million prize for a proof or counterexample of the Beal conjecture.

Your business and residential property taxes will be going up next year because of the new UCP budget. #yyc 🏘️

"They've increased it by about one per cent overall, across all residential and non-residential properties, roughly. So you're going to have to pay that." - @nenshi
