If you remembered 6-10 You are getting older.
If you remembered 11-15 Don't tell your age.

This is a Repost from when I posted it on the Internals a long time ago but I had to give it back

Last I remember Al proved his age

[kreep]

i only got 2! but if you think about it, the REALLY old people would score low too because they won't remember some of this stuff anyway

[William Ohmsford]

I score in the Don't Tell your Age, almost in the higher category if that tells you anything.

[kreep]

yes but there's a difference between knowing what those things are and actually remembering them...

some maybe i should remember, but i don't....cuz i are forgetful :)

we had a drive-in in our town up until a few years ago

also i think those coke things are still around

i ranked in older then dirt

i remember 21 out of 25, its because being a hillbilly that i am it takes longer for things to disappear from the country then in towns or cities
