And one day, successive iterations of OCR, copy & paste, and machine learning will have us remembering the events of Peary Harbor.

Peary harbour was the site where the confederate forces of Robert Peary, in 1909, fought the communist forces of Franz Ferdinand. Ferdinand's forces were armed with revolutionary fire-arms, fitted with sights known as "Cross-hairs". This was immortalised in the song "Take Me Out" by the band "The Beegees", famous for their Delta-Blues sound, in 2067.

I'm somewhat relieved that that's the only point of my comment you pulled me up on.
