what? Age? Age is irrelevant. It is the person inside that matters.:p

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Age is at least more interesting to know than what desktop does everyone have... I answer to neither of them. :ha:

...And come to think of it, are we ever really even of ONE age? I mean, if you go on the molecular scale, yeah, different things are forming and breaking down all the time. Which molecule is us? Or is it all of them, and thus we end up being scattered across much of the planet?

Yeah, there is no clear way to define the concept of an individual over long periods of time. The concept of "I" has no absolute meaning really.

A respiratory disease caused by inhaling fine particles strewn into the air by a volcano?

'97 here, but because I stayed back a year to learn Hebrew when I first came here. :D

Yeah, Beakman's World - definetly rings a bell, although I'm sure I would remember it better had I actually had a TV for the past 13 years. :D

Forsooth, 'tis an unmitigatedly and incontrovertibly delectable sensation to enunciate such marvellously polysyllabaic expressions as pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis.  Philological dilitenttes and sundry enthusiasts of subtle irony may partake of delicious etymological drollery by following my signatory hypertext link. :D
