Okay, preliminary results from the Age Counter.
Assessing the straight data, accumulated over a roughly 24-hour period,
we get:
sample: 40 mean: 341.398
This astonishing result is (mostly) due to John "Methuselah" Birrell, who
is still poking along at the ripe old age of 12345. If we make like a
tobacco industry researcher and ignore his datapoint, we get a more
reasonable
sample: 39 mean: 33.6136
If we assume that Mr. Birrell mis-typed his actual age (12), we get
sample: 40 mean: 33.0733
I'll throw a list of participants as well as some nifty analyses on my
homepage later on tonight. First, I must sup (as in eat). Can I make a
GIF with GNUplot?
Now, for the other side... How old is Linus? 26? That's one point; so
far we've got 'em beat!
Marc.

AMAZING BUT TRUE ...
If all the salmon caught in Canada in one year were laid end to end
across the Sahara Desert, the smell would be absolutely awful.
