\*\*swampbear \*\* delights in informing the world that I’m 6 months and 6 days older than he. I’ll hit the big 54 in January. And while I haven’t felt like a teenager for a long time, I still get disturbed when I look in the mirror and see my grandmother staring back. Although my hair hasn’t turned grey, thanks to the genetics from Dad’s side. ---

But I’m still admittedly the oldest, at least up to the time of the list. **nyctea scandiaca** As you can see 86 was a mistake. And unless I missed something the Psycohistorian is the oldest so far at 70 ---
