I'm 16. However, the popular "guess" age for me right now is 9. "What grade are you going into? 5th?"  Really?!?!?!?!?! Wow!!!!!!! AnnaBtG.

I'll appreciate it later... I'm not appreciating it yet...  Good friend of mine happens to be a priest at my church, and the first time I met him, I could have sworn he was 30 (he'll be 40 next summer ) I wonder if he appreciates it yet... Jen

I'm with a few of you out there. Born in an 0 year (1980). Oct 4th to be exact...just 11 more days till I'm 23! I've been told though that I look as young as 15 or 16, depending on how I do my hair I think... My mom will be 49 this year but she looks like she's in her 30s. I've had people think she's my older sister before.  I love it, she looks great! Though it was weird a few years ago when my boyfriend at the time thought she was hot...(he still does)  Not that I was or am jealous or anything - I broke up with him because I realized he was nothing more than a friend to me - I just didn't and don't want him thinking about either of us like that! ewwww... My friends still tease me about it.

Well I was born in November 27th, 1980 (hey my birthday will be at the same day of thanksgiving this year!  ) but I have two different "guess ages": if people judge me by the way I look they think I'm 16 or 18. However if people who knows me enough and talks to me every day about every thing they don't believe I'm only 22 (well almost 23 now ) they think I think like someone who is 30 or something like that. Weird, huh? They say I'm too mature for my age. Well some friends of mine use to call me Doctor Raquel Friskin because I use to help them a lot  ...sentimental help and other things..hey looks like I am mature for my age after all! Okay I babbled too much already. Raquel (who is glad that people don't think she is older by the way she looks or that she is younger by the way she acts and think )

Just remember: Birthdays are very healthful. The more you have, the longer you live.
I'm hitting my 40'th in a little over a month. I don't feel any different....yet. My mom still tells me how she remembers sitting with ~ 3 week old me in her lap, watching JFK's funeral on tv.
Ah - history. Does anyone have a birthday co-inciding with a famous event? For instance, my oldest daughter was born on the 5'th anniversary of the Challenger explosion (Jan 28, '91, also the first day of the ground war in the first Iraq incident)

Well, I'm told that I was born on the day of Martin Luthor King Jr's funeral. Cheery, eh? And then last spring, my birthday was the day they toppled that famous statue in Baghdad. I hear that it's a national holiday in Iraq now Oh, and the best one -- these boards officially opened for business on my birthday PJ Age is a question of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter.

I was born on the day my mom and dad became parents.
Do you know the most surprising thing about divorce? It doesn't actually kill you, like a bullet to the heart or a head-on car wreck. It should. When someone you've promised to cherish till death do you part says, "I never loved you," it should kill you instantly.

I was born on the anniversary of George Reeves' suicide. It's nice to have a "superman connection" but I have to say that I really would rather it was something happier.

Desi Arnaz died on my 6th birthday. A lot of people wouldn't care about that, but I am a *huge* "I Love Lucy" fan -- I even was when I was 6, so it was really sad for me that Ricky Ricardo died on my birthday. However, I didn't find out that he died on my birthday until just a few months ago.

I share my birthday with King Henry VIII of England, the painter Peter Paul Reubens and Rosseau. James Madison died on my birthday and the assassination of the heir to the throne of Austria, Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife, Sophia, in Sarajevo by a Serbian Nationalist,Gavrilo Princip occured then. This incident precipitated a war with Serbia, eventually starting WW1. Ohoh, and the Treaty of Versailles ending WW I was signed

Nqoire,
That's a very interesing site. I knew my birthday was on the anniversary of Martin Luther (not Luthor!) posting his theses on the Wittenburg door, but I didn't realize it was also the anniversary of the first thermonuclear bomb detonation -1952 (that's fusion rather than fission). And lots of other things.
Time for some more research.

Dang, I didn't recognize any of the names associated with my birthday! It's January 16, 1988 BTW. I'm 15. I was born on the same year that Robin #2 got whacked by the Joker.

Yes, that's an interesting site, Nqoire, although a little US-centric at times. A European equivalent might be interesting too, if there was such a thing. But, hold that pony! Under public holidays I discovered this: Scotland : Handsel Monday - - - - - ( Monday ) Not only have I not the faintest smegging idea what Handsel Monday is...but I was completely unaware till now that my birthday falls on a public holiday! LabRat (demanding to know who in authority has kept this one quiet all these years...and who do I complain to? )

Hrm. I don't have many birthdays I recognize, but I do have a lot of firsts... 103 pilgrims land on Plymouth Rock, HMS Beagle sails into Bay of Islands, 18 students play 1st basketball game, 1st junior high school established, 1st crossword puzzle (with 32 clues) printed in New York World, 1st feature-length silent film comedy, "Tillie's Punctured Romance" released (starring Marie Dressler, Mabel Normand & Charles Chaplin), 1st feature-length color & sound cartoon premieres (Disney's Snow White)... all this on December 21st. Wow.

If I'm not mistaken in Tempus Figitive, when Clark puts the date to where Lois and him should go to stop Tempus, was: May 17th 1966 Smallville. The day he arrived and the Kents found him. Carolyn
