    Because no-one can live to be 50? Later this year, I'll be celebrating a birthday starting with 6, the year I was born is over 1000 (Methuselah purportedly lived to be over 600 years old, you figure out which 6 I'm talking about.), my SSN starts with 5 and is well over 50, my license number is almost 50K, my bank card starts at over 5K. A lot of my ID numbers show over 50, so what did I do to make me a poseur?

      Woohoo!! However, this doesn't mean we're at 10M members yet because we nuke spammers and members do wander off to different pastures. The real celebrations are to come.

        I continually have problems differentiating the artificial minds from the raal ones.

                  42 - you must know the answers to everything right? I also have the numbers 4 and 2 in my ID - with a few zeroes :(

                      Which means the people in ancient times were as good at counting as I am or Extraterrestrials colonized this planet by first killing off the dinosaurs, creating an environmentally protected bubble called Eden, altered the earth's chemistry to substantially up the carbon 14 in the air, created genentically enhanced humans, the bubble broke down so the first humans had to be kicked out on some fantastical pretext, the enhanced genes were passed on, but eventually broke down because the enhanced science no longer protects people and they've devolved from reaching on average 600 years old (if I remember the bible right, he lived over 300 years longer than anyone else had) into living 75 years (on average) or the diseases on the planet evolved to attack us better. The earth really had humans on it for only 6000 years. The scientists screwed up on the age of dinosaurs because they assumed the C14 levels were about as high when they lived as they are now because there isn't a scientific explanation why they would suddenly increase. SciFi, fiction, or complete fabrication? I do know I fabricated that theory, but it has as many holes in it as evolution has. (We not only haven't found the missing link for man, we haven't found any links between phyla.)

                        Nice story, but no, he's not the only one... many up to and including Noah lived over 900 years! :-D Can you imagine how living over 900 years must've been w/o the Internet?!? :-D

                          Except for Noah, no sitting on your "A" then, huh. :) Well, anyway, either they were really lousy at math or something substantial changed from then to now. (Huge increase in water born diseases, inbreeding of Noah's family, ???)
