i was watching a documentary on human body (BBC), where they made an excellent point about one's age: one is created from an egg of one's mother - but the mother was born with all the eggs already in the ovaries, and so those eggs were created by one's grandmother, when she was pregnant with one's mother.  So, the actual age we are talking about should be counted from the moment of grandmother's conception! i always hated putting the year of birth in any social forum, so from now on i can truthfully say i was created in March 1906 - and since i got ill, there are days when i feel my age of 107...
