2018 is a very special year

[FakeNoose]

We are all 2018 – Today the whole world is the same age.

It happens only once every 1,000 years:
Your age + your year of birth = 2018.
This is true for everyone.

It is strange and inexplicable. Try it and see.
It won't happen again for another 1,000 years. So….. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Example: I was born in 1951 and I'm 67 years old
1951 + 67 = 2018

2. beat me to it

3. No, not inexplicable, unless you're just trying to pull a fast one on us.

Your birth date year and your age will always equal the current year. Your FakeNoose name is very appropriate.

4. I was born in 1950. I'm 67 years old.

Your magic holds no power.

5. Umm, that'll work every year

"Your age + your year of birth" is something that I did as a little kid in 1981. Worked then and still does.
