Um, Tyler? I didn't snip a thing before what you wrote. If I had, I
probably would've snipped the stuff I wrote as well, and I definitely
would've snipped the headers. Also, whenever I snip something other
than blank lines or stuff at the end of an article, I'll put a little
[snip] in there. (Or something more, um, colorful. See above. ^_^ ]

Ah! I see. I didn't realize that you were talking about present-day
Earth; I *know* you didn't write that in any previous text. It makes
much more sense now. Even so... I don't think it's that valid. GW
hasn't advanced the timeline at all, really, they've just added more
things in. This is my main problem with the people declaring different
"ages", because it's based off rules rather than time.
