    It’s related to the old-timey curse that sounds like a complement. “May you live in interesting times”, because as interesting as it may be to read in the history books, It wasn’t as fun for the people living in those times.

      Indeed. One can only wish to live in exceedingly boring times…

        It’s just that you can’t be bothered to write up history with all the orgies and drugs.
