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

do you have your own lion taming hat?

i don't see any differnce between a lion tamer and secondary school teacher ...

Lion taming is much, much easier

especially if your really taming ant-eaters

where are all the monty python fans in this thread??

In Post 77 it was reported:
>> The average age has dropped. Now the average researcher is:
25.042462962963 years old. <<

I would expect this trend will continue.

Younger researchers will be encouraged by the latest statistic while the elders will find themselves increasingly less likely to reveal themselves.

Omigod! I'm wrong. Those next three were all over 30.

Glad I didn't put money on that one.

Why yes, that was exactly the reason why I posted - couldn't let you stay with the wrong impression about the average h2g2er - and I think 42 is a good age - pity I'll be 43 so soon

51 plus some months

51 is a grand age to be.
There's a lot of *whispers* middle aged people around here...I promise! You just have to find them!

Kat,if I recall it correctly, you're only 17 - so how old are the 'middle aged' people, according to you ?

probably 30., because 50 plus is a senior citzens

20 and ahove me thinks

Just to drop the average age slightly, 39 looks cool for the next 5 months

Age: 32

Employed: Yes

(But currently on holiday from w**k - yay!)

also employed fulltime but off sick for the summer and hopefully a bit longer

Decrepit, delapidated, composite old wrinkly Senior Citizen, O.A.P.
So 60+
No longer 'Working'

Ha!

me 18, little school boy or something like that...

What's wrong with being old? Doesn't it mean you're wise, and you can say, "been there done that got the t-shirt"?

Anyway, the average age has risen:
38.148923280385185....
(at that point I got bored of copying numbers. Forgive me please.)

Employed is same old 68.507636363636% + 2 more people employed, (one calling in sick.)

Unemployed is same old 27.921363% + 1 more student.

We still have 1 full time mom, at 1.85% and 1 maternity leave, at 1.85% and now
*1* retired, also at 1.85%

keep 'em coming.

25 (but look much younger thanks to innocent countenance and youthful exuberance)

Full-time student, part-time underpaid shop-slave.

Donations gratefully accepted.

Almost 42, work as a makeup artist to support my painting/photography/Great Adventures.

30 is middle aged and 50 senior citizen?

Every age has been both surprizingly wonderful and a supreme unexpected pain of some sort. I think I'll keep going
