This was forwarded to me:

Happy Birthday Everyone. We are all 2018 today – Today the whole world is the same age.

Today is a very special day. It happens only once every 1,000 years. Your age + your year of birth = 2018.

This is true for everyone. It is both strange and inexplicable. Try it and see. It will not happen again for another 1,000 years.

So…..HAPPY BIRTHDAY everyone !!


Interesting, but I don't find this related to this day necessarily. Tomorrow my numbers will still add-up to 2018.

Well I'll be damned,it worked.

Well I’ll be, I’m 18 again. Thanks.

Doesn't work for me. Born in 1939, so I'm 78.
But it'll work after Monday.

Voodoo.

Dave

just told my wife this and when she tried it said how the hell did you do that? told her i just figured it out by mistake. so far shes buying it. soon as she remembers i can't add 2 and 2 correctly shes gonna come after me. the bruises will be worth it though!

Worked for me. Not my daughter. It will work tomorrow on her birthday.

John,you will deserve all the bruises. This recalls to me when we were on the job in Round Rock,Tx. installing ductwork for the high school in 1980.We were working weekends to get the job done on time. This very well dressed black gent came up + wanted to ask if they could use the gym for some basketball practice.He started slipping in the mud + this other guy who was working there shouts out,"HA! Slip + bust your ass nigger!" I got him to shut up but in hindsight I considered him the ambasedor to Zimbabwe.

Ken, this is bizarre. Where did you hear about this, or are you the genius who came up with it?

WOW! It sure does work! In fact, it has worked for me every year since I was born! I could choose to be the same age as the current year!

And it works next year, and the year after that.

1960+58=2018
1960+59=2019
1960+60=2020

Another mathematical trick. Take the number of days in your birth month, subtract the number of days after your birthday and the result will be the date of your birthday. Works every time.

Our friend Math.

Don't listen to them Bill. I came up with it on my own. Pure genius on my part. No help from anyone.

explaining to my wife that it is simply common sense/logic, not mathmatical genius on my part just earned me another bruise. thanks a lot! when i wake up in the middle of the night aching all over and shes waving the covers everywhere yelling "holy shit that stinks, cut another one and see what happens" i have come to accept, but this outburst was unfair.

And, it worked for every year BEFORE that!

Wow John,glad to see that you're living a typical married life.

i guess. she still questions how come one night we were driving home and got close and i had to stop and take a leak at the pasture and all the sheep backed up to the fence. she says i musta been baaaad

Works for me, now.
Must be this new-fangled maths thing.

O.K. for those still feeling challenged please pull up Tom Lehrer on youtube.He is still a scream from the 60s.Always a break to see intelligent humor.Please enjoy if or not you have partaken before.Also any postings would be welcomed by all I can only assume.

Sorry, got ahead of myself. Tom's song is called "New Math".

Worked for me and also for my late mother and father.

What's your problem. I happen to know the birthdays of my late mother and father and so just used them to try two others.

Sort of painful to spell it out for you. If you take the year you were born, add to that the number of years you have lived . . . surprise, surprise . . . that works out to be the current year. What year would you expect it to be? If you need more of an explanation, well I at least would not admit that publicly.

You are dumber on this forum than Political.

But if you want to try yourself see if you can solve the three 2s problem in the thread I started.

As a side note I posted on this thread and completely ignored our differences on the Political forum. That is generally what happens on AR.

No wonder the word on you and Africa is bad news.

Grow a brain you fuckwit.

I need to grow a brain and you thought this was some mathematical riddle? You embarrass yourself mate.

Well you have told us you are the big brain so the Three 2s problem is waiting for you.

But we all know you are bullshit. When Blair 338RUM called you out on Buzz, Saeed's response was:

"At least he can post about Trump the right way." The African area knows you are a pain in the arse bull shitter. Compared to blokes like John Siegler and the late Allen Day you are a fuckwit.

Go and solve the simple maths problem I have posted. Surely with your connections we will have you post the answer real soon. Prove me wrong about you/

The "[a]t least he" was a reference to you mate . . .

I am afraid not old boy.

Blair 338RUM posted a derogatory comment on you and African.

Saeed responded with At least he post up the right stuff (or similar) about Trump etc.

Can't be me because as you know I am extreme pro Trump and like Saeed you are very anti Trump.

Tell you what, just get back to us when you figure out that when you add your age this year to your birth year it adds to the current year. That’s just embarrassing.

I had forgotten this thread.

What is embarrassing is you thought I took it as a riddle. My thread on the maths problem would have told anyone else the deal.

Why don't you have a go at the maths problem on the thread next to this one on the "three 2s"
