Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Who does Google think you are?
Ars Technica’s Casey Johnston has started a fun new game: find out what Google guesses is your age and gender. These “inferred demographics” are based on the websites you visit and are tracked by a Google cookie; they are used for advertising purposes.

I am also a 25-34 year old Female. However, I am nearly 51. I have a young mind, at least at work.
edit: I wonder what it will think I am at home, where I do my porn surfing.
It guessed that I'm 18-24. I find myself at a loss.
