Can’t we get this thing over 500?
Well done, y’all!

It would seem that not everyone is being entirely truthful in their answers. We have one poster who would have been no older than three when she joined. And judging by her profile, she is one precocious lass.
Yep. There’s always at least one joker in every thread!
Pleonast shows to be born in the 1911-1915 period. If true, that is quite remarkable.
I spotted that. I made the silly assumption that that vote was to offset the nurslings at the other end of the range.
But I am indeed curious if that’s for real! I know we have some old timers and some have revealed themselves elsewhere. I just hadn’t noticed Pleonast before now.
It looks like DChord568 saw this as well.
ALERT: I just checked in on How old are you? to find that the next Voter will put the total over 800!
Will it be you, or did you vote already?
Been a while since the numbers changed…
After nine months there’s a chance that some newer Dopers have yet to vote in this poll.
So here’s a bump.
Here’s a snapshot of where things were before my previous post:

*Late *1955, so really more like 1960.
Long labor - I feel for your poor Mom.
Same year as my wife youngster.
The results look pretty much like they would approximate a Gaussian “bell shaped curve”, with the left end trailing off a bit. If I were more ambitious right now I’d plot it out and see.
