I took it twice just to be sure.

The test insists I am 29. Now I know many people tell me I do not look as old as my actual age, I do not think they mean I look 29!

[joew]

But appearances can be deceiving. Not looking 29 doesn't mean you aren't 29.

The reverse of those "mortal coil" things, huh? Sigh - think of all those efforts made to secure fake drivers licenses asserting one was of age to drink alcohol.

I just say "Sometimes it's a good thing I don't look as old as I feel."

Now that I think about it, my late high school years were spent in New Orleans (where the legal age was 18 but nobody cared), Germany & France (where AFAIK there was no legal limit), and then college in New York - which by then was probably the only state whose drinking age was still 18, not 21. I never concerned myself with fake DL.

Hum. Well. What can I say?


I'm 25.


I want to thank all of the Little People.

Hehehe.

Yes, Doc. I went to college in Idaho (the BIG CITY of Boise) and they had decided that at the age of 18, if you could be drafted and sent to the Viet Nam "War" after 6 weeks of Boot Camp, you should be able to have a drink before you left. No need for fake IDs.

I don't know how this test knew I was 25. It was probably because I chose the kitty.

It scored me 29 as well, but I fudged a couple. I probably would have scored older.

Noticed I'd never done this one, so I decided to give it a whirl. Well, it guessed my age as 6 years older than I really am, which is better than being 99, I suppose.

I started this, but I forgot to reply. This one says I'm

… 29

You are as frightened as a cat on 4th of July when you think about the moment you're going to turn 30. Relax, 30 is the new 20! So, how did we do? Did we get it right or wrong? tell us in the comments!

I guess I'm young at heart (or immature).
