A terrifying factoid for our older members

[Ivan Seeking]

Yoko Ono is 72.

 

[Andy]

Gutted, she's 52 years older than me!

 

[wolram]

Yoko Ono is 72.

Not that i fit in that category, i am only ? but yes

 

[tribdog]

only one thing you can say to that fact
O NO!

 

[Danger]

That's my reaction to just thinking about her at all. Thinking about her singing will get you a whole page full of them.

 

[Ivan Seeking]

I'm thinking of her time - the 60's and 70's - not her performance skills or talent to be sure.

I'm thinking of her time - the 60's and 70's - not her performance skills or talent to be sure.

Isn't there a law prohibiting mentioning those two things in a sentence with her as the subject?

 

[Danger]

I believe that it's the equivalent of 'Humanitarianism' and 'Hitler'.

 

[tribdog]

In case you weren't listening I said:
O NO!

pink ribbon material

That's ok dear.

I guess you get to keep the 2004 Guru ribbon indefinitely. A reminder of your former glory. :tongue:

I feel you, Ivan, and I'm not even that old. But when I hear Nirvana on the radio, then realize their big album came out in '91, I think 'wow, that's about how old latter-era Led Zeppelin and Who were when I was a young kid growing up in the 80s. Then I realize in a couple of weeks I'll be closer to 30 than 20. Lord knows how I'll feel when I get to your age. I'll probably find a 19 year-old girlfriend and buy myself a Ferrari.

 

[tribdog]

Yeah, wow, could you imagine being as old as Ivan. geez. I'd probably get a 19 year old nurse and a Hoveround.

 

[Danger]

You'll probably need a nurse long before that, and not for the reason you hope we'll believe. The hovering wheelchair might be pretty handy.

*Wonders who Yoko Ono is*




Must not be old enough to know.:tongue2:

 

[Danger]

Consider yourself lucky.

 

[Ivan Seeking]

Lord knows how I'll feel when I get to your age.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

*Wonders who Yoko Ono is*
Must not be old enough to know.:tongue2:

how young are you?!

 

[tribdog]

old enough to pull one over on you obviously

 

[JamesU]

okay...:uhh:

 

[Ivan Seeking]

Trivia problem: What is the difference between a fact and a factoid?

 

[tribdog]

a soul.
next

 

[JamesU]

FACT: Something that has occurred or been proven

FACTOID: Something that has occurred or been proven in print first, has occurred or been proven, and has been printed since
something like that

 

[tribdog]

then is is a fact or a factiod that you make no sense sometimes?

 

[Danger]

It's a fundamental law of nature.

 

[tribdog]

thats a fact

 

[zoobyshoe]

Yoko was, even at the time, much older than John. Now, all these years later, she's much older than she used to be then.

How old is the son of Yoko and John? He must be about 55 by now, eh?

 

[tribdog]

no. when did the beatles break up? 69-70-71? somewhere around then

 

[Ivan Seeking]

Now, all these years later, she's much older than she used to be then.

Yes, that seems to be true, then and now.

 

[Ivan Seeking]

I thought a factoid is a fact that's a pain in the butt.

 

[JamesU]

well. According to google's define: feature, I am correct

 

[zoobyshoe]

Yes, that seems to be true, then and now.

Even if he'd lived to get older, she'd still be older than him.

 

[zoobyshoe]

no. when did the beatles break up? 69-70-71? somewhere around then

Yes, exactly. Vaguely around then, At some point. Just about certainly.

 

[Ivan Seeking]

Even if he'd lived to get older, she'd still be older than him.

And even if not. But then, were he to and she not, then still?

 

[zoobyshoe]

And even if not. But then, were he to and she not, then still?

I think that if he hadn't died he'd still be alive. What I mean by that is that the probabilities of him living to see the year 2005 were greatly reduced by his 1980 death.

Yoko Ono is 72.

That's about 72 years too many. Number nine my ***.
