Language and wiered people

If we were born 30 years earlier, we'd probably have been collectors/restorers of antique cars or aeroplanes or steam engines instead. In short, I doubt it.... Their are enough ordinary people in the world to let a few be a little unique (or eccentric I suppose). Just my 2c worth.
