I don't know. I don't trust radiocarbon dating.

I wasn't able to witness my birth, so clearly I have no evidence to suggest how old I am. I would trust my birth certificate, but everyone's watch could have been going many times too fast. I could go by the number of birthday parties that I've had, but for all I know, in the past my family might have held parties every day, or even multiple times per day, and made them look like birthday parties.
In short, while the evidence says I'm 23, I'm going to have to go with me being 3 days 8 hours old.

Okay
I'm bored and have insomnia, so I'll join in here. I'm 33, and I still get carded as well (even for cigs!).

Oh Nooooooooooooo!!!
My 40th birthday party tonight.
Is it uncomfortable having the contents of your stomach pumped out?

Congratulations Brian, welcome to the world of the juvenile mind in an age ravaged body. (just kidding....I think).
As for your question, I would think that if you reach the point of needing your stomach pumped, you would be so far gone as to not feel much. Just swallow the charcoal like the nice men in white tell you to do. The rest should come naturally.

Given that I am bored, I'll update this again.
Only two changes, I have update both Brian's and my own age. I have also included the average and 'mean' at the bottom.

:: : 24
Agent Uranium [GPC] : 27
Andya Primanda : 22
Asgara : 43
Bonobojones : 51
Brian Johnston : 40
buzsaw : 68
compmage : 27
Conspirator : 18
Coragyps : 55
crashfrog : old enough to know better
Dan Carroll : 25
dragonstyle18 : 20
Gzus : 18
hollygolightly : 33
Mammuthus : 35
mark24 : 36
messenjaH : 14
minnemooseus : 46
Mr Jack : 26
MrHambre : 37 (39?)
NosyNed : older than granite
Percipient : old enough to be bionic
Peter : 36
phil : 17
Pogo : 33
prophecyexclaimed : 14
Quetzal : older than dirt
Raha : 35
Rei : 23
roxrkool : 35
schrafinator : 35
SLPx : 37
TrueCreation : old enough to remember that HS sucks
Wounded King : 26
xwhydoyoureyesx : 16
zephyr : 25
Excluding those that didn't give a numberical age and taking MrHambre's age as 37 the average age is slightly more than 31 and the 'mean' is 27 (15/15 split with 2 on 27).
If anyone else has had or is having a birthday soon, let me know and I will update this.
