h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Does any one know who are youngest and oldest Researchers currently are?

I feel like the oldest some days.
And my mate Spikey The Goblin King has a mental age of about 2 and a 1/2.
But that isn't really what you meant, is it?

There seems to be quite a cross section from early teens through to the silver surfer brigade.

I might be wrong, but I think our oldest active researcher is probably Also Ran I U186829 - she's well into her seventies I think...

Youngest....

Youngest physically - I'm not sure,

Youngest mentally, that's easy.... try U13

Haha! I've got a twelve-inch Silver Surfer action figure on top of my CPU!

The oldest, I believe, is Marj, from Downunder. She's 80 odd, I believe.
The youngest is that fetus with the PDA from Margate. "MoreMarsBars" is the nickname, I think.

*giggles*

Poor Abi....asked a perfectly reasonable question....

Come to think of it, I know there's a wizened old crone I believe he's chinese, who told me he was 153.
Then there's that glint in the milkman's eye, Researcher 1,000,000.



Sorry, Abi.
Couldn't resist.

There is an active researcher as young as 13. I won't name her, she can volunteer that herself. Can anyone go better?

I need an answer!

It's that long since I registered with BBCi that I can't remember what information you collected. Is there nothing in there that can help you?

I deduce that Gnomon is referring to someone he knows, so having a look at his home page and checking out the referenced researchers leads to some who indeed claims to be thirteen (although her 14th birthday can't be far off).

She's too old.

Abi is looking for someone age 10 or 11, but I honestly don't know, sorry.

I know another registered researcher who is now 11 but she is not active. She hasn't posted since last year, I think.

Not just an idle question then, if a 10-11 year old is being sought ! Or do you know there are some out there but can't remember their names?

What do you need them for Abi?

k

She needs help with her spelling. Someone told her a nine-year-old could do it, so now she's looking.

Is there no active researcher with a 9 or 10 year old kid, who can persuade it to register (or else...)?

Mine are already to old.

We were just wondering whether there were any younger then teenagers - nothing suspicious I promised.

I could always get my son to register, he's 'fwee n u haff', but don't expect much intelligent conversation from him.... his typing isn't too good yet either.

Come to think of it, nobody would notice anything odd if he did start posting, would they?

Nokama was 10 when she wrote this: A576678

And now she works in the towers, laughing at the spell checkers
...cause she thought it was like spell chess, only sillier...
"Fwee und a haff", huh? Get an overlay for the keyboard to keep the peanuet butter and zwieback crumbs out of it and let him at it...
On one of Twolegs Nighthoover's threads......

To be honest, are there any researchers *over* the age of 10 who could write that much about Pokemon?

B

My youngest daughter, aged 7, has been known to talk for up to 50 minutes without a break on the subject of Pokemon, apparently not even stopping to draw breath.
