I nabbed this from Amazing Journey: It'll guess your age. 's pretty nifty, I think.

The Grim Reaper.

It got mine right. Well, a few months off - I'm 20, it guessed 19, but still. Cool. Did it guess yours?

(Hopefully I haven't forgotten my HTML.)

It thought I was 31 and I'm 35. Youth points for tree climbing and having homework. Age points for tea and vanilla ice cream. And what the hell are Speed Armstrong and Fluevog, not to mention Rock et Robin Hood?

Stretch Armstrong is a bendable toy thingy....

I'm so mature, it guessed 31 and I'm 23....

It put me at 42, and I'm 40. Not too far off.

Looking at the breakdown was different, to say the least. Evidently, because I am very familiar with Kilroy, I should be 50 (I'm a history buff with a special interest in WWII, actually). But because I have zits sometimes, I should be 30. I *wish* zits went away as you age - I think whoever wrote this test may be in for a shock in a few years!

It said I was 29 and I am only 15! I think because I put casserole down as my favorite food they kind of add 10 years. I also put down all the "old" people answers. So what if the word I recognize most is Kilroy. So sue me. hehe

It put me at 24 and I just turned 25 so very accurate. Pretty interesting thanks for posting this.

It guessed 25 and I'm 30. I do appreciate that though. What's scary is I didn't realize Pamie's page (or this forum) had 14 and 15 year old kids reading it. Gah! I'll have to control my input from now on.

Not bad-- I'm 24 and it guessed 20. But I'm WAY immature (Am so! Are not!)

And Rocket Robin Hood was a really bad cartoon from the 70s.

It guess 20 and I'll be 29 in August (I keep rechecking the math, that just doesn't seem right).

I thought it would come out much older because I answered 18 years ago for the tree question, since I can't recall every climbing one. I forgot to mention my fear of heights in the other thread. You'd think the Spandau Ballet question would make me at least 28, since I was 11 when "True" came out and was probably a bit young for Spandau, but anyway.

I guess "sex," having hopped recently and liking clothes helped bring it down.

What is "Fluevog?" she asks, feeling like a fuddy duddy.

-- Anonymous, May 17, 2000

it guessed I was 20 and I'm 19, sooo I guess it was very very close! I think it was the fact that I said investing interested me most ...well, err, I'm into the stock market!! I was about to say salad but realised it didn't interest me that much in daily eating habits.

ah well. that was fun. I'll log it on my weblog tonight so others can take it.

I, also, wonder about this "Fluevog." Not enough to actually look it up, alas. ;)

i can't believe nobody knows what fluevogs are! fluevog is the last name of a shoe designer; fluevogs are the shoes he designs. maybe they were only really cool in seattle, i don't know. i thought everyone knew what they were.

btw, i took this test a while ago and it got my age right.

Well it guessed 25 and I'm 25.. I'm so transparent!

WWW.fluevog.com - these are fun little shoes that cost at least 125 bucks a pop. I went to a store in SF and have been thinking of buying a pair ever since..

I'm 25 and he thought I was 18, which makes no sense because most of my answers came out betwixt the 30 and 50 range. Ah well. I ain't a math major.

I'm 18 and it claims I'm 23. Who am I to argue with the Grim Reaper?

-- Anonymous, May 22, 2000

I thought Fluevog was some kind of squishy, gooey toy.

It guessed that I was 32. Pretty close, since I'm 34. However, I will continue to cling to a conversation I had with a co-worker last month:

Me: I'll be 34 at the end of April.

Her: No way!

Me: Honest. See my gray hairs? (I point them out)

Her: You're lying!

Me: I'm not. Want to see my driver's license?

Her: Yes, because there's no way you're in your 30's. (I hand her my license) Oh my G-d! I thought you were 25 or 26!

I love that woman.

-- Anonymous, May 22, 2000

The little devil was pretty close. I'm 27 (just turned it 2 weeks ago) and it guessed 26. =)

-- Anonymous, May 22, 2000

It guessed 51 for me... I turned 57 toward the end of April, so I guess that't pretty close on a percentage basis. I do wonder about some of the questions, like ones that only have two test ages, etc. Also, some of you complained that you were teenagers and it guessed your age wrong... but it doesn't have any answers tagged to anything younger than twenty or older than sixty, so it could never correctly identify a teenager or an actual senior citizen type. Very interesting site.

To those who asked: Stretch Armstrong was a plastic doll made in the 70s by one of the big toy companies (Kenner or Mattel or Hasbro or someone; probably Kenner). He had elastic limbs that could be elongated to great distances. (At least, this is the Stretch Armstrong I recall; has the term come to mean something else now and I'm just not hip enough to know?)

-- Anonymous, May 26, 2000

Did they remake Stretch Armstrong sometime in the 90's?
I remember my brother begging for one and he wasn't born until 1985.

Wow, I feel special. The Grim Reaper was right on target... I'm 18. Although, I thought the fact that I like gum and that I have both climbed a tree and hopped within the last year would make me younger, but oh well. This guy knows his shit.
