I just tried the test and yes I am getting older! What surprised me so much was the population of when I was born to what it is today, it has doubled :o

Everyone is getting older, tomorrow I will be a day older again, hopefully I will still be here to enjoy it

I don't like their heart beats.  The small number on the end turns regularly then suddenly speeds up.  In any case, my heartbeat is much slower than their example, so I'm probably not as old as it shows.  ::) ::)

I liked the comment below that said "growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional"

That's to represent the shock you get when you realise how many days you've lived.  ;D

But yes, I still don't know my two either!

Jessica Simpson and Lana Del Rey.  Apparently American singers.  Still don't know them.  I'm glad they told me, I even googled them and I don't recognise them.  I'll blame my parents, they got me interested in rock and roll music and big bands.

Today I've got Dimitar Berbatov, who I've never heard of, but who is apparently a Bulgarian footballer AND Prince William, Duke of Cambridge.  ;D. So I'd better go back to my tree as there must be a link to royalty somewhere.  ;D

I love these type of sites.

I typed in a dob of 1.1.1900 (114 years old).

I love the response at the end.

Good idea and did same. Put in my dads dates (he would have been 104).  Found it absolutely fascinating seeing the events that happened at different ages for him, such as Armistice signed when he was 8, first tv picture transmitted when he was 15 etc. It also showed that Adolf Hitler became the Fuhrer of Nazi party on his 11th birthday.  Interesting tool to use to see ages of our ancestors when various events happened.

Off to try great grandparents c. 1840's!!  Just tried and won't go back any further than 1900 - shame.
