How old are you? (The eternal one, with birthdates!)

[The Yankee]

'91! Yeah, man!

I remember 1991 quite well. That makes you a young 'un!

(Waits for an even older poster to slap me one.)

 

[Catharsis]

young ones aren't sexy.

How is this not sexy?

Spoiler :

For the record: 13 August 1971, Oshawa General Hospital, Ontario, Canada.

Ah, August 13, a fine date.

 

[Izipo]

young ones aren't sexy.

So true.
Now where do you define 'old but still sexy' ?

I remember 1991 quite well.

Aaah, 91'. Didn't we have a fine and short war back then ? It's weird I can't seem to remember which country we were against... Surely it's been so utterly beaten to the ground that it doesn't exist anymore

Old school Elizabeth Taylor.

The CNN coverage was surreal to watch, with the night vision and all.

oshawa? ew

Yeah I know, fortunately my parents were kind enough to move us out of there before I was two.

Ah, August 13, a fine date.

Indeed. Also shared with Alfred Hitchcock and Fidel Castro.

Just decided to check who shares my birthday (June 28), its a mixed bag...

Everyone's favorite ginger babe magnet Henry VIII,
That social contract fella Jean-Jacques Rousseau,
That mustachioed commander of the US 8th Air Force Carl Spaatz,
*insert humorous comment* Mel Brooks,
"OH NO! HANDS BRICKS?!" Hans Blix,
"Fire bellied" John Cusack,

People who died on the day include...

Byzantine Empress Theodora
General Gerhard von Scharnhorst
President James Madison
Of course Arch Duke Franz Ferdinand of Austria and Countess Sophie Chotek

Events wise...

We got an army of christian saints coming to the rescue of the crusader army that raped Antioch...
Charles V became Holy Roman Emperor
The Battle of Berestechko, which as with all Polish history was the biggest/best/insert random hyperbole of its time
Queen Victoria was crowned
Irish Civil War began
Malcom X forms the Organization of Afro-American Unity.
Israel annexes East Jerusalem *
Stonewall riots begin in New York City *

* Best juxtaposition ever.

Well, I'm apparently one of the youngest in OT.

And the smartest.

And the sexiest.

And the greatest.

Judging from the Member Photos thread, you're a squat little guy, , not very sexy at all, , and I'm smarter than you, .

Old school Elizabeth Taylor.

Fine choice, but I'll raise you with...

Spoiler :

Oh, and as to who I share a birthday with, that's irrelevant. After I was born on February 1st, everyone else pales in comparison, so why mention them?
