    You're either 38 - from the days you posted (plus the fact you told us about 2 days ago)

    or you're a bored 12 yr old - from the spamming techniques.

    (only kidding, that was what's known as an "obligatory" joke)

    38? My windows calculator is broken. I got 35.9 which I rounded up to 36. I'm installing Lunix that's the last straw Bill.

    I divided the number of days by 365.25... That's correct right? Each year is 365.25 days... right?

    Well, happy birthday Hel Khat. However old you are. And many more¹. If you were good this year, Sheriff Fatman will get you a Birthday Mexican like he got for his wife, who's birthday you share. Happy Birthday Lysa, too.






    ¹"more" = plus or minus 2 years depending on your version of Windows

    Actually, it's 365.246 days in a year, but that's just nitpicking! :wink:

    The answer works out as 38.1 years old, so it can't have just been his birthday. It has to be about a month since that 'special day'.

    Happy belated birthday that Khat! :razz:

    I won't answer that. Let me ask you this, instead - how many days are in February?

    There aren't a whole number of days in a year - 365.246 to give it so 3 dp.

    That's why you have a leap year every 4 years - to bring the calandar up-to-date. Problem is, that because there are less than 1/4 extra days a year, the calandar is still out - by about a month I think now, since the year 1AD (might be wrong - it's been a while since I've seen the stats).

    I'm late.
    Haven't been in the forum lately.

    Too much work.

    Anyway ...

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY ! ! ! !
    :booze: :stoner2: :peace: :winknudge: :hump:


    About the age, I don't care.
    You are older than the flower and younger than the mountain.

    The rest are details.

    If you are older than the mountain and younger than the Sun that makes you a halucination and this web site a by-product of my paranoid-pschysophrenic mind. That's sad. I like this place.

    I'd rather say you are as old as your first breath, and let's leave it at that.

    I'd just like to point out that some organisms flower for years at a time. :D

    ...but that's just nit-picking again! :wink:

    How does all this match up with the years during which they used the Julian calendar? It only had 10 months, so I'd have thought we'd be out a long, long way, unless they recalibrated it all at some point, possibly during the switch to Gregorian.

    Yes, as Milo says, it's Lysa's birthday. She's had a good day, and I hope Rex does as well (although he's an old sod by our standards).

    Thanks, Ferret.

    She actually joined our TDZK alliance and is now level 9. I got her a scanner for her birthday, a cool USB 2.0 one with high res. We just this minute tried it on its max settings. It took jst over 2 mins to create a 390Mb/2400 dpi image of me sitting in a cupboard in Atlanta :eek:
