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!  |

1936, 1940, and 1944 were leap years. As was this year for people who think today is really tomorrow.

Re: OT: How old are you ?
Ah, yes. Tactics II. Remember playing that back in the very early '60s.
I'm a nuke - one of those amorphous pegs whom Admiral Rickover pounded into the shape he desired to fit into his nuke navy program. Once I emerged from that service obligation (Hey! It kept me out of rice paddies!), I stayed with it as the industry allowed for a good and secure living for my young and growing family.
As can be seen from my registered date, been here for a while. Wish there'd be a SEIV Platinum or something, as I am not all that comfortable with patches and mods. I'd just like to have it all on the CD. It's one of the reasons I've not bought Gold yet, and have not gone PBW, KOTH, etc.

Re: OT: How old are you ?
If I remember right I've written to this tread for a long time ago but it's a good time to post it again, especially since I'm now older.
So I'm 19-year-old high school student though my school is almost over, only finals left. I live in Nokia, Finland (you know, that small cold country in pretty north  ). Besides playing SE4 I like to read fantasy books.
