Signed June 15, 1215 (leaving aside the calendric correction that took place in 1732).

It doesn't look a day over 750.

I'm sending it a big card.

Not exactly. The original document was not called the Magna Carta. What became know as the Magna Carta was the document signed at the end of the First Barons' War (1215–17). It was a watered-down version of the original document.

Tell that to Queen Elizabeth and everyone who gathered at Runnymeade yesterday.

Yeah, and we celebrate the signing of the Declaration of Independence on the 4th of July.
