Ok, this is a cool little trick I learned this week to impress your friends and family.

1. Take a metal tape measure, a 12 to 16 foot one works fine.

2.Pull out to exactly 105" and lock it right on the mark.

3. Bent it, without breaking it, where the tip is touching right at the 105"mark. (the tape should be bent exactly double)

4. Now the tape is touching back to back with numbers showing on either side.

5. Find the number that represents the last two digits of the year that you were born in and then turn the tape over. The number that is showing right behind your birth year will be your current age or the age you will be at your next birthday.
 

Re: RE: Re: RE: Career Change? Any of you do it?

All I can find is a 6 footer..........can I be half my age? :lol:

JK. That's pretty cool......'cept both the mudwoman and I fall right in the fold (born in '53 - will be 52 this year). So I tried it for my son's BD - worked! That's cool!
 
Yup. My dad showed me this years ago when we were building his workshop. I've amazed (and probably bored) all my friends with it through the years!
