How old I am

For whoever was trying to figure out how old I am

(2 pm Sunday, although that is the local server time in Germany, using
IE6.0 and running Win98 and using AT&T as an ISP)

I am 947 years old. I was born in what we would now call the Middle
East though at the time it wasn't really known as anything but "where
everybody lives in tents". I spent my long life travelling East in
search of wisdom and have lived in Mongolia, China, all through the
far east, and have finally in the last few decades come to live on the
west coast of the United States. I gave up the "search for wisdom" in
the nineteenth century and worked as a keeper of prostitutes and
provider of other illicit pleasures for two of what you things
consider lifetimes.

I don't look a day over 600 though.

Hope that helps.

(And to anybody else who reads this, don't try to make sense out of
it. The person I'm talking to knows who they are.)

I thought you seemed familiar. How you got unpegged from that anthill
I will never know.

You're around 947 years, you just learn to anticipate, Mags. Don't encourage
him by making it all supernatural.
