Ok, this might be an old thread, but i was too lazy to look up at the archive to see [well, i rememebr in the old PF 4 years ago when we were a small website, Zargawee started this topic once] stopping giving ... introductions:

How old are you?

I am interested to have a general idea about ages here and now some infos about people, still not nosy :biggrin:
 
Physics news on Phys.org
ehm ehm, starting with myself, I am 18.
 
17...

I know, I know, I sound like I'm freakin Einstein but really I'm still in high school.
...
Honest!
 
20, soon to be 21 in 4 more days! Bars/clubs, here i come! :biggrin:
 
18

I'm 18.
I don't think enough people are going to reply for you to get the general distribution, but it's probably fair to say most people are probably around 20 years old.
 
17...17 1/2 at christmas day*
 
I feel old with you youngun's around, I am 19
 
I'll be 25 next month.

but really, that is the way they decided to count only
because, I love jazz and english humour, I have white hairs growing since I am 18, my left knee suffers of osteoarthritis, the people I admire are extinct or soon they will be, politics matters to me, I read the newspaper and even sometimes, I go to the opera.

So, this quarter of century must be an illusion. I must be 52 at least :smile:
