You're Getting Old!

I was recently introduced to the entertaining website You're Getting Old!, which offers all types of facts about a person's age. The process starts by inputting a birth date:

I found out that I was 24,182 days old. In addition to reading about facts about historical and cultural events that have taken place during my my life I also found out that:

  • My age in days equaled those of the singer Adele plus the actress Kristen Stewart added together.
  • Sir Arthur Conan Doyle published The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes 24,177 days ago on October 31st, 1892 (which is nearer to my birth date than today).
  • Over the years, I've had 2,211 candles on my birthday cakes.
  • The moon has orbited the earth 885 times since I was born.
  • Out of 100,000 people born on the same day as I was, approximately 78,719 are still living

  6. I was going to say AI also but the copyright at the bottom of the page is 2014.

    One of the people that add up to my age is a Brazilian footballer named Kaka. I'd advise him not to come to the US.

  10. Middle age is so daunting. I never figured out how many days old I am, but I did feel old the other day when one of my daughter's teenage friends called me "Mrs." with my new last name.
