!yikes, I am 46 years OLD, not young, OLD. Every morning I awake, no matter the time, I thank the heavens that I am still sucking air. I am one of life's miracles., little, but a miracle nonetheless :wink:

Smurf you are 17! Don't email me LOL I should have requested info from anyone on the Canada thread. I want NO hassles with the CIAo... Comic Infidels Around overherd :smile: What the heck, if you have links or real info on customs, shoot me an email :approve:

Such an awkward age. Too young to give your age in hexadecimal (at least without getting a few puzzled expressions), but too old to give your age in decimal.

30, here. (heh, heh)

My age can be written using just one unique symbol from 0..9 (and nothing else), yet is indivisible by 11.

9+9+9 eh?

Or did you mean 3^3?

I'm going to guess 111, since Moonbear's taken 3^3.


My own age is perfect.

Bella! So my skull now is thinking to go and search in the archives for your age, since i am not FBI agent, i will not do it :biggrin: ...i am assuming now that your age is roughly 57, build on the hint you gave me :approve: :smile:

P.S: haha, take it in the best way possible :bugeye:

27 it is...I'll repeat that line if PF and I stick around another 84 years.

shmoe's a year older...since he's in grad school, and he's human.

Integral, i know you since the Old PF. You ARE our wise man here, even you don't pass 50% of the road to the 75-year-old-wise-man-stagehope the differentiation of integrals [from other] will give us the "orginal" equations :smile:

24, 25 in 24 days.

From what I heard from my friend, the year of the quater of a century is a bad one.

I don't know, I thought that was a good age. Though, I think 26 was the best age. I don't know why, just do.

Wait till you get to 40, 50, 60, ... 100 iansmith!

Cancel that; by 40 (or 50, if you're in the slow class), you realize that youth is totally wasted on the young ... and that life truly does begin at 40 (or 50).

Of course, only those past these 'use by' dates have the qualifications to pass judgements ... :wink:

: so i am wasting my time all my life until now!
Oh my Lord! Moses was wasting his time in the nice high school days, in the too nice kidergarden, and till man as freshman at uni :cry: :cry: :cry:

Should i sucide, since my life is waste now? Or should i go to jail for 30 years and then go out to start my "good life" :smile: :smile: :smile:
