I don't have a Ph.D in Mathematics or anything, but my parents were only 10 years old back then. :rolleyes:

Not that I'm worried, just curious if that was a normal message.

Since this keeps getting repeated over and over every time someone discovers they have been a member here longer than they've been alive, perhaps the mods would create a sticky explaining it?
