Who is the oldest Geekzoner here? Also the youngest? We might have an interesting demographic going. I will start. I am 81. Two funs in heading to make it meaningful.

@frietasm ... >We might have an interesting demographic going.<

 

After submissions, a look at the age spread might be an interesting stat for you?   

 

I wonder what the age spread among regular contributors/discussions might also be?

In my mind I'm 30, my body thinks it's 90, my actual age is 60.





New Zealanders, on average, have one testicle.

OP also asked about youngest. We haven’t had a contender for that yet.

So far I'm the youngest at 44, but I'm sure someone can beat that!

29.

 

 

 

Previous forums I've used have had a 'minimum age' that attracted an instant ban if you admitted to being under it. I had a quick skim of the FUGs but couldn't find one, but we might still not get (or want) anyone admitting to being under say 13.

Maybe Geekzone should be renamed the Geriatric Zone.
