... 15,325 days.
Anne of Cleves was three weeks younger than me when she died on July 16, 1557. The fourth wife of King Henry VIII, died 410 years before I was born.
I've also outlived Alan Turing by one day. He was a mathematician, cryptographer and the father of computer science who was prosecuted for being gay. He died of suicide by cyanide poisoning on June 7, 1954, 14 years before I was born.
How about you?

I'm old enough to be your mother. Only just barely, and my parents would have been very, very unhappy about it. They would have shipped me off to a "home," probably in Australia...
*gasp*
The mother of Mr Brown's twin sisters WAS shipped to Australia to have them. Then shipped back to New Zealand, sans twins. Different times.
Mr Brown & I worked out that had we been daft enough to have a bebe when we first met, it would be almost 20. Still living at home too I'll bet.
Different times indeed, and yet not so very long ago.
I think my parents are still upset that I might have sex, even though I GET TO!
O, sex, well parents can be very funny about that! A tad hypocritical when you think of it.
I learned:
"At your exact age, Brian Maxwell died of a heart attack. He was a creator of the energy snack "PowerBar"."
That's troubling!
On the other hand, I have lived 18,633 days.
Dunno, sounds shorter in days than years...
;o)

Lee, I think the trick is don't eat PowerBar - and no jogging!
I've outlived Mozart by two weeks (plus an extra 182 years). cool.
Most parents don't want to know that you have sex, nor that they did/do. My Beloved's kids don't want to know that we do, either - they look stricken and cover their ears should it ever come up. Cracks me up, as they both do, right?
Zoomie, exactly, I suspect nobody really wants to think about people they know doing "it". I know for sure that my siblings and I were found in rosebushes, no sex involved at all!
