23-30 , Developed Nerds

How dare you? I "developed" back during puberty and am not a nerd.

I define myself as a "geek in his prime".

 

[afornander]

im, 15 (16 in Dec.) ... and i do not enjoy being called a young nerd. the age dos'nt have anything to do with the "nerd" level of a person.. Developing Nerds would sound a bit better.

 

[Macmaniac]

I am 19, I have been a board member since I was 14! Lots of time has passed

 

[zflauaus]

I forgot to add my two cents, I personally don't like nerd. When somebody says nerd, a kid with Bill Gate's size 1980s glasses with constant sinus problems pops to my mind. Anybody else prefer geek?

 

[atticus1178]

I'm surprised as to how many young people there are.

 

[Tanglewood]

21, right in the middle of my college career...If I was John Belushi from Animal House.

 

[CubaTBird]

I'm 20 at the moment, but I used to be 19.

Im 19, I wanna be 20 so I can date women in their 20's.. LOL

According to an article in New Scientist a couple of weeks ago most of the human body is no older than 15.9 years. The cerebral cortex is as old as you are as is the visual cortex while the cerebellum is slightly younger than you are. Your intercostal muscle is 15.1 years old, your gut (not the lining) is 15.9 years old, your gut epithelium is 5 days old, your skin (outer layer) is 2 weeks old, your red blood cells are 120 days old and your bones are 10 years old.

Now if someone wants to work out a weighting system for those numbers then you could actually work out your average age. Since the cerebral cortex, visual cortex and cerebellum aren't that massive when compared to the rest of the body I would hazard a guess that the average age of the average human body of say a 25 year old person is actually quite low. I'd guesstimate about 10 years. That means that underage sex is a bigger problem than people realise.

Ooh, harsh.

 

[gekko513]

I'll be 30 in 1 year and 1 month. If 20 is old I don't know what that makes me. I'll have to stop making fun of 30 year olds and start making fun of 40 year olds instead.

 

[atticus1178]

Ooh, harsh.

i think so too

 

[gekko513]

iGary's not around (or rdowns) so someone has to do it. I'm just messing around.
