How old are we really?

Postby djaxster » Wed Sep 26, 2012 9:11 am

I posted this one FB last nightand it got a lot of feedback and some peeps had their noodle done in by this question.



I have been told by my lovely family that I am wrong in this.

I am sure that when we are born we are not 1 day old but actually 9 months old because of the time after being concieved.

So when we say our age we are actually nine months older than we are.

So if we are 40 yrs old and 4months we are actually 41 and 1 month!!

What do you think?

I feel like this is a veiled launch pad for an abortion debate

Don't you think I feel old enough without adding another nine months on!

Let me guess, the women argued they started counting from birth? Anything to not feel so old.

It'd still make me younger than Libertine so all is not lost.

That said, right now, that's the only thing I have over him :crybaby:

EDIT

I'm from South East London, that makes two things. :arse fan:

Can you work on something that puts our age the other way ?. I feel old as it is these days.
I want Carl Jenkinson back in a Arsenal shirt next season.

If that is the case, then the sperm should be considered a life too.
