I had myself carbon dated and they said I was 51 yrs. old.
Hey Ned, you're 57 and I'm 51; does that mean we can honestly claim to be way above average?

However, we all know you can't carbon date anything that young. The error bars would be so high you might actually be 15 and not know it. On the other hand, you might actually be 51000 (all hail, O Ancestral One). Plus, if you swim in the ocean a lot, that could mess things up, too.

Of course, that's why I used the qualifier when stating my age.
It's called "plausible deniability".
(Wait a minute . ...maybe they just called it "denial")

I think TrueCreation agreed with phil meaning
that s/he was also 17.
That brings the average back down again, Ned
