Have Historic Fun Online
If you're not shy about revealing your age, you can set up an entertaining online game for your next party by visiting A Bear Named Boy.
Put your own age and the ages of your guests in context with historical events and ages of famous people. For example, if you said your birthday is Jan. 1, 1900, it mean you are 99 years old and approximately 16 years 10 months older than Walter Cronkite, age 82; 21years 7 months older than John Glenn, age 77; 24 years 9 months older than Jimmy Carter, age 74; 31 years 9 months older than Barbara Walters, age 67; 34 years 11 months older than Larry King, age 64.
Also, that you were 27 years old on the first of the year of the first talking motion picture; 15 years old at the time of the sinking of the Lusitania; 14 years old when World War I began; 12 years old at the time of the maiden voyage of the Titanic; 6 years old during the great San Francisco earthquake.
Granted, it helps to have all participants be history buffs -- and by evening's end, all will be much better acquainted by way of anecdotes pertaining to the famous people and events.
