Heh, the world's population has doubled in my lifetime, and Sesame Street came out when I was 3 days old.

I am Sophie Turner + Princess Ariane of the Netherlands. What a weird combination?
For real though, I'm the exact same age as Hayley Williams of Paramore fame. We were born on the same day.

It told me I was some European tennis player I've never heard of + one of Heidi Klum's kid = my age. Maybe it's because I didn't really know them, but it didn't make me feel old. In fact, reading the whole thing didn't make me feel old, buy I was impressed how many really cool (or really tragic) things I've been alive for.
The only thing that made me confused was that it told me I was closer to the day It's a Wonderful Life was released in NY than to today by a matter of days. I think that's because I always think IaWL is much older than it is.

My favorite part is still:
Mata Hari arrested in Paris for spying is nearer to your birth date than today!
I think it's funny that one of the things that show how old you are is also on mine. The fall of the Berlin Wall. You were 3. It happened over 1/2 my life ago.

Sammi Hanratty + Bella Thorne. Who? Ok, the former is a babyfaced 18 year old, and the latter is a hot redhead who looks mid 20s despite being younger (JAILBAIT). This isn't making me feel old.
January 27th, 1944:
The Siege of Leningrad is lifted Nearer to your birth date than today!
Ok, that made it feel a little old.
The 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia, United States, beginOver half your life ago!
Ow. Especially since I graduated high school in 97.

More than half my life ago, iTunes came out.
My birthday is closer to Jimi Hendrix's death than today.

http://you.regettingold.com/01/07/1980/ Since my age is two teen actresses I am too old to know, I am not sure if it makes me feel old or not. Challenger pops up on my list, and it's one of the first big things from my childhood that I actually remember.

My age is equal to Kate Upton + Eugenie Bouchard.
Oh yeah!
Thing that got me was the worlds population at my birth. Since that date a quarter of a million people have been added each day...
I feel ya. I have no idea who either of my people are.
In other news...
Benito Mussolini declares himself dictator (Il Duce) of Italy Nearer to your birth date than today!
Freddie Mercury dies aged 45 Over half your life ago!
(Also Freddie was older than I am now)
Dave still has me beat by more than a few years, though.
I believe I speak for the entire forum when I say I'd be interested in seeing the results @Grytpipe-Thynne gets from this site.

This thing has a hardon for Game of Thrones actors.
I got Alfie Allen (Theon) plus some 4 year old actor's kid.

That's weird. You and I got the same 1/2 Life Event, even though you're a year older than me. Lazy website.
(Also, when I got that, my first thought was, "Duh, I was there!")
Today mine changed to John Newman (who?) and Miley Cyrus.

Some of the "older" ones make me feel young...Then I realize that these are still good and able and normal people on the internet, whose birthday was closer to the Crimean War than today. I can't wait to see what sort of weird-ass world I'll be 80 in. Science fiction!

I did my dad and it said "100% of users on this site are more alive than you."
Just followed this link. Thank you. Nice to know that there are four per cent still older than me. Not so sure of the age reference to a porn star though!
I'm Dakota Fanning and the son of Orlando Bloom. Last time I was one of the daughters from the King's Speech, and Kate Hudson's son. I sense a pattern.

Old people!
A long time ago it was essential for businesses to have a set of vendor directories. Essentially these books listed alphabetically everything you could buy in the world and who sold them. Typically they cost thousands to buy and were huge! Like 1500 pages per manual, 24 manuals per set and each book was like 12"x14".
Now what was there bleedin brand name?
