Ummm , nope ! If you had a birthday and 'turned' 27 , you have *completed* your 27th orbit , and are heading well into your 28th orbit at a velocity of approximately 66,000 miles per hour !
Meanwhile , you're also *spinning* at about 1,000 miles per hour . So , if you've ever wondered why folk tend to seem more confused as they become older , now you know that we've got a good excuse ! Or two .
I'm nearly done with my 45th orbit by this way of reckoning .
Still Flyin' !

LOL I am approaching 3 times 20. I just turned 58 last month, and I never act my age.
I do remember paying a nickle for Saturday matinees. I saw a few of the "Flash Gordon" episodes, but I never went every week to see the whole series. Traveler, if I ever get a chance to view the entire series, I will be sure to let you know.

I have tried to cram in as much sci-fi into my brain as I could. I started with weekly episodes of "The Twilight Zone" in my youth, and I think I was 8 years old when I first saw "The Forbidden Planet." I don't go for the bloody violent sci-fi shows, but when "The Train Job" first aired in 2002, I was there. I've been a Browncoat ever since.

Yikes! No wonder I get sooooo confused.

23 here! Nice to know that I'm not the oldest around here...or the youngest. It's shiny to be in the middle!

20, gonna be 21 in awhile. Sadly I don't live anywhere where they have drinking laws sensible enough for people to follow.
Broke my record today; number of consecutive days alive.
Awesome.
