I love these pieces of trivia that really make you think about time and historical events.

One that blows my mind a little is that Cleopatra lived closer to the time period that the U.S. put a man on the moon than the time period when the Great Pyramid of Giza was built.

Here's a hockey related one...

There are still active players today (Thornton and Marleau for example) who, during their careers, played on the team as guys who played against players like Gordie Howe, Bobby Hull, Mahovlich, and several other players that are now over 75 years old.
