Joelogon said...: Well, me too.

The idea came from an IRC conversation to which I was a participant of (forsooth); someone had run into a registration field where the last two year choices were 1955 and "Old."

Since I am me (sci fi watcher, and also lazy), the Logan's Run reference (mandatory euthanasia at 30) was an natural connection. -- Joe; 1/05/2007 11:41 AM
