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

This is for those of the 'thirty-something' and beyond - 'Why is it that no matter what age we are at in physical terms, we are always 27 in our 'head'? Is 27 the human 42?

I am 37 but feel 18

That might be explained by your breakfasts...

27 plus 27 is 54

Moving Rivers what is wrong with my breakfast?

Yes, it's 27 for me!

Mugs of tea, Alpen bars and biscuits... the breakfast of an 18 year old, not good for a 37 year old. The banana was a good move, try half a banana chopped up in some milk (small cup full), a couple of strawberries, half a 'live' yoghurt and zzzizz it in the liquidiser. To reduce cholesterol build up, sprinkle a few dry porridge oats in as well. 30 seconds - a balanced meal in a smoothie...

42 - 27 = 15

i haven't got there yet but my grandpa is 21 and a bit - closer to 22 than 21! he said find an age you like and stick to it.

Oh well Moving Rivers I am still alive so what's the big deal, sometimes I eat Alpen or a Weetabix or a Yogurt and I do like bananas and other fruit for breakfast.

I always thought age depended on the person you feel? Then again what does that make me considering I don`t have a girlfriend. Guess i`m ageless!

EvilAl - you'll learn a lot from your grandpa. Buy him a pint
Wolf - glad to hear you are still alive, thought it was your doppleganger who was posting

Who is my dopple ganger?

What is a dopple ganger?

Dictionary. Might have spelt it wrong but it is supposed to be your exact double (or some extra-terrestrially fantasy of this) which if you were to meet it you would evaporate on the spot. Might explain the 'always 27' problem? (Or 18 in your case)

Well I don't know who this doppleganger is but it is pure fluke I think?

Well I'm 28, 29 in November and still feel as I did when I'm 16 My Father by contrast is now 62 I think, and still acts like he's 15 most of the time We always create havock when we go out on the piss together We nearly erupted a whole pub into a punch up not too long ago Though I do wish my father would give up on the dating girls who are my age Its reducing the field for the rest of us

Age is just a number.

Indeed, age is just a number, and immaturity is a way of life (for some of us))

I wish I was 27.
