Re: OT: How old are you ?
In our newspaper a couple weeks ago they showed a picture of a guy who just turned 17. But he was borne in 1939, IIRC. Borne on a leap year day so he has only ahd 17 'official' birthdays. 
Sad to say I'm 2 years older but I look better then he does right now.

Re: OT: How old are you ?
1940 perhaps? 1939 is not a leap year.

That is probably correct. I didn't think 1939 was a leap year due to being odd plus just didn't seem right. But I really didn't feel like doing the math, even though it would've taken a whole 2 seconds. It may have even been 1936 he was born, I swear there was a 3 in it.

Re: OT: How old are you ?
Well if he turned "17," that is 68 years, so 1936 is more likely. Ah, the crap "news" they publish in local newspapers. Not that it is much worse in other newspapers, but still. |

Exactly. Last year they had nothing better to put on the front of our paper then the opening of a tattoo parlor. So they posted pictures of people getting piercings and tattoos. Needless to say some people were offended by this and the paper ended up publishing an apology. Rather amusing to see it happen.

Re: OT: How old are you ?
Last year my mother turned 3 years old. (She was born on easter sunday April 20, 1924) Her birthday has only fallen on easter sunday twice since that date. So I would say that this is a much rarer occurance than leap year. I think the next time easter sunday falls on april 20th is in 2011.
Anyway, don't mind me, I'm just babbling.
Cheers!  |
