Kemlo claims that he's under 18 and he can only go on-line with his mother's approval ... Knowitall22 claims that he heard a joke in the late 1930's ... I wonder who would claim to be the oldest and the youngest users of this service? Beware ... there are some fibbers around. Me? I'm 40 but I'm often taken for being older because, being an actor, I sometimes have to make up to play an older part. |

Dear Mr Brosnan, As always, it is fun to answer your questions. Age is only in our mind. Biologically and practically, Google Answer Researchers do not exist (see your own conclusion: "Perhaps, it's just the world's most sophisticated computer that's been programmed to answer the questions", ; and Michael's upholding: "Are you SURE you're not all virtual researchers? You've passed the Turing test, anyway, even if the program reputed to be Pierce Brosnan hasn't." http://answers.google.com/answers/main?cmd=threadview&id=184280). We are all fragments of your imagination, or should I say, Q's imagination. We are intended to be activated in case the shooting pen and the flying Mercedes would not do the trick. Then, when Kurt Jahnke would jump from the shadows, trying to attack our good old Pierce, we will start baffling him with our answers. Jahnke wouldn't stand a chance. It is not a well known story, but actually Saddam tried to hire two Google Answer Researchers to be his doubles. Alas, he was only willing to pay for the fake moustache, not for the flight. Does he really expect us virtual beings to just appear in Iraq out of the blue? Since we are all virtual beings, are age is between almost one year (var-ga answered a question in April 2002, and might have been one of the first GARs to appear) to, theoretically, a second (the management might be creating one as we speak). With your experience as a father, you should know that one year olds are charming - as long as they don't wake up at nights. In admiration, PG-ga |

Oh dear, this is one of those occasions when I wish that there were more stars in the Universe. I wonder if a more powerful telescope would help? I'm sorry that I don't have the time right now but I have just been summonsed to Baghdad - wherever that is - it seems that they need my presence. Kindest regards Mr B |

Hi probo. - - I know exactly what you mean about using makeup to look older. I use makeup to make me look 58. Last year I used makeup to make me look 57. It is a real pain having to adjust my makeup annualy in order to pass when you consider I'm only 12 and a half. |

Hi, Digs & TB I have been very crafty. When I was younger, I added 20 years to my age ... Well you do, don't you? But now that I've knocked them off, nobody believes me, especially my daughters who reckon that I can't possibly be the same age as them. Also, when I go out with a daughter, I sometimes get disapproving looks, like 'Look at him ... He's old enough to be her father' |

Bryan -- I answered a question on radio set ownership in New York in 1938 and neilzero added a great comment that would indicate that he was at least 10 years old at that time: http://answers.google.com/answers/main?cmd=threadview&id=144290 Best regards, Omnivorous the Younger |

Hi, Omnivorous, Many thanks for your comment. And many thanks also for your fix on Neilzero. It's scary how you Researchers can dig out the dirt on anybody, well almost anybody ... I have taken extreme measures to hide my own identity ... including a firewall all around my house. Oh, my word, do I smell burning? KR Bryan |

I am 75 years old and I know of computer users older than I. This is not to say we are highly proficient, but we do use the Internet and other computer features. I have used a computer for seven years and am comfortable with it. If anything, I waste too much time on it. I surmise there must be some users in their 90s. knowitall22 |

I may be a researcher but I have no clue who TB is. "Hi, Digs & TB" Now, if you can said "TL" I'd know you were referring to tlspiegel. :) Signed, The Young TL owned by 2 Poodles who could care less what people call their human as long as human has plenty of dog chow in the bowl. |

Hi omni; I was age 6 in 1938, but even then I was interested in how things were earlier in that century, so I began picking the brains of older relatives and friends of my parents. Typically they were flattered that a little kid was interested in their youth. I often don't remember what I did an hour ago, but some details of those century ago events are still fresh in my mind.
