The Division Bell is older than The Wall was when The Division Bell came out

In addition, Exile in Guyville, Enter the Wu-Tang: 36 Chambers, and Siamese Dream are all old enough to drink.

Sorry.

DB is at least twice as old as TW. EiG is at least 21, as is WT. If 36C is older than SD, how old is WT?

I'm considering taking the GRE next year and I was a teenager when all those came out.

And Ralph Macchio was rather older than his character (23 playing a 16 year old).

Morita, interestingly enough, actually was not interned for most of WWII (though his family was) because he had tuberculosis and needed to be in a hospital.

It's been a while since I've seen it, but IIRC Miyagi has some medals that he had earned in WWII and Daniel makes him a little display box for them.

Didn't know that about Morita's hospitalization, though--that's interesting.

As well as their slightly-less-impressive followups, 'Whip Smart' and 'Wu-Tang Forever' respectively.
