To **faithfool** and **qwest** – Hope you enjoy your forties as much as I did! Wonderful time! Happy birthday! Trivia: For those of you born in February of 1957, there was a full moon on Valentine’s Day that year. (sigh…) Okay. I was thirteen. > [@](#): > > **1920s Style “Death Ray”** : I still haven’t really accepted that young adults today were born in the 1980s. Make that the 1990s. They turn 18 this year. Damn. The book **Generations** says that we were the first of the Boomers. Some of us were and some of us weren’t. That made for very strange 10th year class reunions in 1971. **1943** (That number used to look so in-your-face. Now it looks peculiar – like it might not be in the same font as other birth years…kind of like silent movie sub-titles.) ---

[QUOTE=ErinPuff] 1986. I’m glad to see I’m not _the_ youngest person in the thread. [/QUOTE] Another 1986 here. Ah, young enough to have functionally missed the horror of the 80’s, old enough have lived through the 90’s. Plus, we’ve got something in common with the worst nuclear power disaster in human history! ---

The eighth day of **1956**. So I’m a boomer and a couple of months past 52. Only slightly older than dirt according to somebody upthread. ---

As of **NinjaChick** ’s post, 1968 holds the lead with eight users. 1975 is a close second with 6 users (woot!) Four different years ('54, '58, '59 and '63) are tied with 5 users each. There are thirteen different years with only one user so far. I’ll try to put up some charts and such once the thread’s pace slows down enough. ---

1945, Year of the Cock. 18 years later, we got the highest ever SAT scores. ---
