No ? I think I can show otherwise Smile

Lets say you claim to be 21. You body is made up, at a low level, of atoms. These atoms have been on (or part of) the Earth for several billion years (barring those that arrived here as part of comets, meteors and solar wind). They were not created when you were born and when you eat you are consuming atoms that are equally old. Matter is only a form of energy (that cannot be created, only transformed).

Therefore you may claim to be 21 but in actual fact you are around 13.4 billion years old (the age of the universe).

It's no wonder I ache in the mornings Smile
Speak for yourself. I know, for a fact(*), that I am made of porridge oats, weetabix and Golden Syrup and not one atom was harmed in the making of me!

(*) Facts can either be true or false. They have no gender. Payments should be kept up as your home may be at risk if you don't. Or a bloke in a black suit with a car full of concrete mix may visit you for a new shoe fitting.
I was asked how old I was last Monday, and I couldn't honestly remember Huh

I said the age I thought I was and the very kind surgeon blokey looked at my notes and reminded me (thanks very much!) that I was actually older than that !!! Angry

Cattle class - blimey that takes me back - does it still exist? I remember Red Star - where you could send anything anywhere as long as you could get it to your local railway station before 2pm. Big Grin
Well I went to the optician last week and she made me feel old - she told me I qualify for free eye tests. Anybody know where I can get a zimmer frame from ?

The only "interesting" part was when she was looking deep into my eyes and said look up, look left, look right, look down, look straight ahead. You can look straight ahead now Mr Fixer - she should really be more selective in her attire Blush
