That would be an interesting idea. The Kassi say "I am in my [Xth] year", where X is age + 1. Thus, I'm 24, so I'd say "I'm in my 25th year" -- "There's no such thing as 'cool'. Everyone's just a big dork or nerd, you just have to find people who are dorky the same way you are." - overheard ICQ: 18656696 AIM Screen-Name: NikTaylor42
