You know what they say about the reports of my death...

I'm working on it.

I'm wondering if they're using 1900 or 1901 as the start of the 20th century. It might make a difference in crunching the numbers.

And while I'm thinking of it, why doesn't 20th Century Fox change its name?

The Wikipedia article on the 19th Century begins "The 19th century (January 1, 1801 – December 31, 1900)," and it says "Among the people whose ages are verified by the Gerontology Research Group, as of April 2015 there are only nine people (all female) still alive who were born in the 19th century." TMITSSS's reference must be for people born before 1900.

They shoulda been forward thinking like Century 21....
