I got this in an e-mail from a coworker and it teally worked. I just had to sharte it. I hope not too many of you have already seen it. Give it a try, just for fun. DON'T CHEAT BY SCROLLING DOWN FIRST! It takes less than a minute. Work this out as you read ... Be sure you don't read the bottom until you've worked it out! This is not one of those waste of time things, it's fun. 1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you would like to go out to eat. (more than once but less than 10) 2. Multiply this number by 2 (just to be bold) 3. Add 5 4. Multiply it by 50 5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1757. If you haven't, add 1756. 6. Now subtract the four digit year that you were born. You should have a three digit number The first digit of this was your original number (i.e., how many times you want to go out to restaurants in a week.) The next two numbers are YOUR AGE! (Oh YES, it is!!!!!) PS - THIS IS THE ONLY YEAR (2007) IT WILL EVER WORK

Yeah, that it is. I think though if I knew why it worked it would take the fun out of it for me.
