Good god, what year is it now.  Let's see, 2001, that's 34 years plus 1
means 35!  Until november that is.  Phew!  I glad I can still work that
out.  I'm about halfway through my projected lifespan and I'm starting
to forget how old I am. :)

Every so often some one posts a question like this and there's a sudden
flurry of energy as everyone contributes.  Does anyone have the software
to do statistics?  Maybe it should all be compiled and we can look at
the results.

I know the idea for Brithenig started at the end of 1990, just before I
graduated from university.  So it is now officially 10 years old and
counting.  I should give it an anniversary day.  My oldest language has
been dormant during that period but started about 1983.

It's all over now.  They stand backs to the wall
Waiting for the fascist's sword to fall
In the desperation of a young life about to end
He turns before the bullet, And forgives a friend.
