mdrejhon 8 #1 April 9, 2010 Today's that big annual day that mere mortals call a Birthday. I just realized that I'm now closer to 40 than 30. Thank goodness I already had my mid-life crisis at age 30. 40 should be a piece of cake now! I guess that means 4 years till POPS? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zep 0 #6 April 9, 2010 Well I'm closer to sixty than fifty, I could tell you what you have to look forward too but I decided not to depress you, Ahh what the hell, the worst I've found is the calf and thigh muscles cramping up whilst having vigourous sex, that is really embarassing. waking up in the morning without a good stiffy, Being told by the doctor that you can't eat your favourite meals After drinking a bottle of JD you realise that your bladder muscles arn't as strong as you thought.

Andy0689 0 #11 April 9, 2010 No sympathy from me since I turn 40 this year. Hell, I've been wondering if I'm supposed to join POPS this year or when I turn 41. After all, it's Parachutists OVER Phorty and I'll only be 40.Andy I'll believe it when I see it on YouTube! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

After all, it's Parachutists OVER Phorty and I'll only be 40. I'll be 43 in August and I have been slacking on joining POPS ever since I hit 40. Main problem has been very little jumping the last few years. I'll join sometime this year.

After all, it's Parachutists OVER Phorty and I'll only be 40. Only if you're rounding to integers. Technically, the first tiniest amount of unit of quantum time over 35.0000000(...) years, I was already over exactly 35 and therefore, closer to exactly 40 than exactly 30. Then throw in the fact that an Earth Year actually varies (in the order of picoseconds and nanoseconds), and we occasionally do leap-second adjustments. This then all complicates the definition somewhat for the first instant. However, once you're about a few seconds past your birthday, such calculations are irrelevant. In addition, your birthday is defined as the exact moment you were born. Exactness is up for debate, (is that when you're partially or fullly pop out of your mommy, or when the umbilical cord gets cut?) Anyway.... You're already at least several seconds after age 40, so go ahead and try to join. ...But that's only if POPS uses floating point ages, rather than integer ages.
