ROFLMAO - how the heck would anyone ever know that, bearing in mind they have nothing to personally compare it to! I spose they should compare themselves with their parents - Oh dear, what if they died before the member of the forum reached the age they are at at the moment, of eg cancer or indeed anything else?
