In the late 70's I worked with a guy from Kabul. He was from a family of 14 kids. He seemed pretty normal, a bit shy. I asked him about his siblings and he told me about 5 of them had died very young. I was really shocked and asked him how they'd died, and he said, rather nonchalantly, "You know, sometimes it's too cold, or there isn't enough food, or you get sick..."

You know?

Up until then, I didn't know people still lived in the early 1800s.
