Well that's not much, after all my pot plants feel smart because of me. That's because I give them names. They're all named after sausage brands though.
Isn't it? After all the day when you are born is your birthday. A year passes by and it's again your birthday...
It's funny how people get confused with numbers. The birthday logic you lot advocate does exist though: For example, why the **** did we celebrate the millennium on the night of dec 31st 1999? If you count to 10 you don't start from 0. You start from 1. Therefore 2000 is the last year of the 1990's, and millennium should have been on the night of dec 31 2000. Or the decade 2000: If the century 1900 ended in 1999, the decade 2000 would start at the beginning of the year 2000 (still follow me?). If the end of the decade 2000 is the end of the year 2010 you would have 11 years in the decade!!
So you see, it's not really as clear as everyone seems to think.
I'm sure Thilo will find all this very interesting as he is a man of science (though a chemist, so he'll more likely be laughing his arse off in the meth fumes)
Hey... thank you everyone... please forgive me that I'm not going through this thread and thank everyone individually but I'm really done for today after Uni^^
Timo, you're totally right... I really find it interesting BUT I don't have meth fumes around me
1st Birthday = Day of birth. That's how I know it. The completed years are counted. So I completed my 20th year on this planet (as a human being at least... my molecules have been here for quiet some longer time) Means that I'm 20 years old and that I started my 21st year on my 21st birthday I hope that clears everything up.
