    Yes, I know... but some are both amazing and funny. Most of these are from here: http://www.thingsyoungerthanmccain.com/, though I added a few of my own. If you want to add to the list, remember that McCain was born on August 29, 1936.

    Wow, didn't know how recent many of the items listed here were.

    Now, I wonder how many of these items also apply to Obama.

    Someone should list things for Obama and Clinton as well... shoot, list things newer than the average age of the board for that matter.

    So what?

    We live in an ever-increasing-in-knowledge world. Technology changes at nearly the speed of light, much less calendar year...

    This does not impress, nor worry me.


    I still remember having rotary phones only, none of my friends' homes with answering machines, and if a store had bottled water in it the label read "distilled" and it was in one gallon quantities only.

    And??

    Grow up... things change. Big deal. :rolleyes:

    We have "kids" on this bbs that do not remember an ATARI 2600, or life without cell phones, internet, laptops and cable tv.

    Oh the horror.

    John McCain was born in 1936. The National Basketball Leage was founded in 1937. The Basketball Association of America was founded in 1946. The BAA absorbed the NBL to form the NBA in 1949.

    If I remember my catechism correctly, Methuselah made reference to McCain being a friend of his father Enoch.
