How Old Is Everyone

[olkofri]

42 come next month. Life's too long.
BTW, for those wondering if they're too old to pick up pipe smoking, I read yesterday that "etween 16 and 96 years of age the epithelial layer of cells on the surface of the tongue undergoes a 30% reduction in thickness, whilst the basal cell layer remains the same. This is interesting as it coincides with the progressive reduction in tongue coating associated with old age"**. No wonder I have tongue bite every time—I just started smoking a pipe ~4 months ago.
On the other hand, continuous pipe smoking might force the body to keep the coating thick, kinda like those who never stop drinking milk don't develop lactose intolerance. Who knows? Pipe away I say.

How old is everyone?

Old enough to know not to ask such a personal question!

And now, if everyone will just list, your first pet's name, the city in which you got your first job, and your mother's maiden name, we will move on to more pressing matters. ::

As near as I can tell everyone is about 228 billion years old. That assumes a mean age of 30 and a world population of about 7.6 billion.
For purposes of this analysis I'm excluding the dead; narrow-minded I know.

50, bought my first pipe about a dozen years ago, smoked a couple times a year on and off, started getting more tobaccos to try, and relaxing with the pipe much more often, this past fall.
