Tell you what Jackie, guess how old I am.
Older than Juliet (that I know for sure)
Younger than Joan of Arc (just)
Same age as Ophelia ( If you take the top end of the estimate)

Older than Juliet

Hmmm, definitely pre-Shakespearian - 16th C?...
Younger than Joan of Arc (just)
...15th C...
Same age as Ophelia ( If you take the top end of the estimate)
...Shakespearian at the latest - 17th C

That would make you about 400 years old.

By 'eck, you are a baby round here, dode.

Yep!

But then as Adam I'm only a few days younger than the Earth itself...

Hmmm, still 7 years from my prime, too.

And monumentally off-thread.

Hint -- 41 is a prime number, too!(unless you want to shave off a few years and be 37)

the thing is, if you say "i am 39" people tend to think that you aren't-- it's much to much of cliche age.. but no one expect you to chose 37 or 41 or 47 as age to stay put at. there are lots of prime numbers.. and isn't better to be 47 (a prime number) rather than 49? (a square!-- who wants to be a square?)

I'm 24 square roots of 2 years old, or about 11 pi years old.

You're 19? (Don't feel obligated to reply, esp. in public.)
Warning: do not offer me Shakespeare. I would rather be called an ayleur than try to read Shakespeare.

Nothing needs to be added to the above. It's a sterling admission!

Thank you very much!

Also, I apologize for this reply being so delayed. Apparently, I forgot to check off the e-mail notification option. Oops.
