    9/11/01 was 19 years ago.

    19 years before that was 9/11/82. I had just turned 14.

    So 9/11 was the midpoint between today and me being in 9th grade.

    Damn I’m getting old.

      This is what I thought you were talking about:

        9/11 is almost the halfway point of my entire life.

        What the tangible hell.

        Please love yourself.

          haha 9/11 is closer to the start of my post-college career than to my retirement.

          I feel like a stegosaurus in a T-rex world!

            @jon-nyc this won’t make you feel younger but I was born in 1982, a mere 13 years after we first landed on the moon, which to me has always felt like a pure “history book” moment. Kids born today are born 19 years after 9/11, imagine how much more distant they’ll feel from it.

              @89th and @Aqua-Letifer

              I’m about to make you feel old.

              Your birth year is further away in time now than 1945 was from your birth. You’ve been alive for over half the time since Hitler shot himself in the bunker.

                Oh, and Larry and George have been around well over half the time since Jefferson Davis died.

                      @89th

                      You want me to really make you feel old?

                      You’re older now than I was when TNCR launched.

                        So for me, my birth year is the halfway point between now and the Battle of the Somme.
