30. Hahahaha
Nope. Actually it is (In my case) a Navy or sailing term having to do with navigation. My shipmates awarded my cool nickname (180) years ago while in the Navy because I could not walk and chew gum at the same time (I was just seventeen/eighteen) and every time I hit the volley ball it sailed off 180 degrees of what I intended.

As time went by I matured and at 22 I became a decent athlete/frogman/deep sea diver and so on. Also an Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technician. (EOD) I could run very fast!

180

4. The youngest that I'm aware of was 12
and the oldest is far more than 61. I'm 55.

Did you have to bring up age, again?

7. If I Had Known I Was Going To Live This Long...
..I'd have taken better care of myself.

Are we talking people years, or dog years? Either way, you got me beat.

10. There was someone in here a few months ago saying it was their
15th Birthday and I've heard of more than a few that are over sixty five, retired and learning the internet...

So we seem to have the full range around here...

12. In Accordance With The Geneva Convention....
...you only need to give name, rank, and serial number.

Oh wait, this is the Bush administration where the Attorney General says it's okay NOT to follow the Geneva Convention.

Does this mean I'll be outsourced to another country for torture until I give my age?

18. Question for you, 180....wasn't there a lady poster who was quite a bit
older than you a couple of years ago? I can't remember her name, and I haven't seen her post in at least two years, but I'm almost sure there was someone.

32. okay, so next time I think I'm having a discussion with a teenager
I'm probably right. But who knows, the 12 year olds might seem far more mature and intelligent than some of the 50 year olds.
