Once your over 25 everyone is the same age

I've been trying to remember this quote for the last hour. I can't remember who said it or exactly what they said. Can anyone give me a dig out? I think it was one of the great Irish writers.

Does that mean you'd hook up with a 90 year old??

Eh? Is everyone over 25 the same or do people over 25 (due to failing sight and hearing) think everyone is the same age?

You can see why I thought it might have been Oscar Wilde or one of those sick focks. I think that was the basic premise though.

I tried googling it for you (you're welcome! ) and got nothing like it.

[family guy]Peter: I'll handle it, Lois. I read a book about this sort of thing once.
Brian: Are you sure it was a book? Are you sure it wasn't nothing?
Peter: Oh yeah.[/family guy]

Yes, apparently the ageing process starts at 25.

We got 0.85% slower at web tasks per year.

So a 24 year old looks 24 and next year start looking 15 again? Sweet!

I made this post 25% faster than I would have four years ago but that's only broadband masking the fact that I have aged, aged terribly.

Oh, what a world!

Great. So I've only got about 2 more years for that one I went to college with to turn 25, and then she'll view me as being prime material and send me that long-awaited email. Should I hold off on marrying number 2? Eh, maybe not...
