hey, wait a minute! **rye** ’s [profile](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/member.php?action=getinfo&userid=18003) says that she is a “college student”! so, either we have a supergenius on the boards or _someone_’s bullcrapping. ---

-grins- There’s a lot of us younguns running about. For one, **I** am 16. **Catalyst** and **ARose** are both 15. It’s odd, b/c **Speaker for the Dead** , aside from being mistaken for me, is really cool, as is **Living Dead Girl**. I liked both right off the bat from reading their posts, and never would have dreamed they were my age, too. ---

Uh, hate to tell you, it’s definately 13. I wanted to register my kid, and asked for opinions on a cool name for him, but was told he has to wait 'til his birthday. Oh well, only a month and seventeen days! And I’m 41, but I feel more like 14! ---

I have to agree with you, also - you would never guess the vast majority of younger posters here are actually teens. Besides who you mentioned (and yourself, too!), **FireUnderpantsBoobs** surprised me also. You’re _17_?! Coulda fooled me! 🙂 ---

> [@](#): > > Unless you truly think I’m someone else, in which case I’m not, I think you just whooshed the hell outta me. 🙂 Sorry. No, I don’t think you’re someone else. Your name, “Living Dead Girl”, reminded me of the phrase “Cute Little Dead Girl”, which is what they call Lenore in Roman Dirge’s comix. 🙂 ---

I’m a little interested in hearing about Rye being a 12-year-old college student, myself. Anyway, I’m 20. I’ll be 21 in 6 months, woo-hoo! And I ain’t buying any of you suckers alcohol, either. 😃 ---

Compared to the dopers here I should be looking for my geratol or turning up the heat in here or something. You know its funny because I went to the store yesterday and stood there staring at some prunes. I would have never guessed so many kids were on here, but I guess thats a tribute to all of you enlightened youngsters out there not squandering this precious time of your life on things like drugs and sex. If you get a chance though I would recommend both. ---
