ORIGINAL: WhoreMods It's rather impolite to speculate about a lady's age like that, Jeff. What age, I am taking into fact that the particular female in question has an ornery streak that would mean that every time she 'gives up the ghost' she arrives at the pearly gates, Saint Peter takes one look and says "Oh HELL NO!" and sends her spirit back, and the devil is appropriately worried that she would take over. However, if you take my grand children's opinion into account, I have been on this planet since shortly BEFORE dinosaurs. Actually, I am beginning to suspect they are trying to say I was born sometime in the Proterozoic era. The truth of the matter is that I was a young scholar (okay, young officer with interests in academic fields) assigned to the garrison on Thera, and after figuring out that there was something decidedly amiss with the island in the center of the harbor, requested an assignment on a voyage beyond what came to be known as the pillars of Hercules. Thus I was not present when said small island decided to erupt violently and end the Minoan culture, and have been knocking about since. Now, if this were in deed the case, I would have, if in a position to do so: Told King John NOT to sign the Magna Carta and instead would have advised him to throw the ungrateful bastards UNDER the nearest castle. I mean Pope Innocent III stated it was invalid (okay it was a deal to get John to start listening to him.) At least this is what I imply when they insist I am older than dinosaurs.
