Over 65 years ago this month, researchers ran the first FORTRAN program

This is considered as the beginning of general-purpose programming. ( Image credits : NASA and MIT_CSAIL )

Titles like these make me chortle. Over 65 years ago this month means it could be 70, 80, 100 etc.

The funniest part to me is how ‘this month’ is absolutely meaningless. It was over 65 years ago last month too, and the month before that

Better than “today, 63 years ago…”
