Shouldn't that be, "on this date, 50 years ago"?
Then, again, the date includes the year (presumably). So, technically, that isn't correct ๐Ÿคจ
I know what is trying to be conveyed, but how to accurately express it? Unless time travel is somehow involved. 18,250 days ago ...no. gotta figure in 12.5 more days for leap years. But which years? OMG! (Just guess, Fuddy, no one will know if you mis it by a day).
Okay! 18,262.5 days ago JAWS was released and it scared the holy cheese out of everyone. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ
I am watching it again . The first two Jaws were quite good.
