Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Hmm. I've been operating on the assumption that a 2-4 year age difference (guy older than chick) is normal for Western society. Well, at least in the places I've lived, and for married couples.

I realise that my generation might be mucking things up a bit, but it certainly held for my parents.

Am I on crack? Have things changed for my generation? I haven't even sat down and tried to work out how to google for those stats yet.

When you're racing - it's life. Anything that comes before or after is just waiting.

Congrats bon bon. What specifically are you searching for in regards to neurology? I might be able to help you narrow down your search.

I don't think so. If you look at the median age for marriage, for men it is a couple years older than for women, so while that doesn't describe every couple, it implies a trend. I found this : [link]

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Wow, that's really interesting. I'm especially fascinated that they were so young in the 60s and 70s. I mean, I guess people I know who got married then were that young, but I wouldn't have thought the average ages would have been older earlier.

What does "median" mean again in stats?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

You arrange the values in order then take the middle one. So if you have 101 pieces of data, the median would be the 51st one.

Order values, take the one that falls in the exact middle. 20 values, you take the one that falls in the 10th place.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

This is awesome -- PCWorld has collected a bunch of old computer ads from YouTube and posted them in chronological order.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Thanks, I googled the title of the study and was able to get it. When all else fails...google.

20 values, you take the one that falls in the 10th place.

To be very nitpicky, if you have an even number of values, you take the mean of the two middle ones. So for your example, you'd average the 10th and 11th values.
