While Jonathan was alive Queen Victoria married Prince Albert, Samuel Morse received the patent for the telegraph, Beau Brummell died and Oliver Wendell Holmes was born. Jonathan is older than Canada and Hong Kong.

To paraphrase a meme that went around a few years ago, "Jonathon was alive during slavery, and did nothing!"

  • Be fair - Jonathan never owned a slave! His conscience is clear.

    From the description, it seems he's spent a life eating lettuces and bonking. Not a bad 190 years.
