A Scientific Test To Determine Your Age

thumbnail icon: A Scientific Test To Determine Your Age

There are a lot of ways to know how old you are. Like, looking at your birth certificate. Or asking your mom. Can doctors determine how old you are? Kind of, right? I'm not Professor Health, and while I don't think that doctors can tell you to the day or even the exact year that you were born, they can do some tests and figure out your general age probably, right? That sounds right. Obviously, it gets harder if you have Benjamin Button disease, but you don't, because Benjamin Button disease doesn't exist. (Oh, sorry, SPOILER ALERT!)

But there is another simple, easy-to-use, highly accurate test to determine your age. It just came out today, and it is very easy to use. Just watch the video after the jump, and depending on your reaction, we can know how old you are. It's basically infallible. There are no false positives. The wonders of science!

Did that 14-second clip from the Twilight sequel New Moon in which basically NOTHING HAPPENS mean something to you? Did it get you excited for the full teaser trailer premiering this Sunday during the MTV Movie Awards? Did you forward it to your friends on Facebook with the message "14 seconds in HEAVEN!"

Then it is a scientific fact that you are 12, maybe 13. Otherwise you were like huh? What just happened? Did something happen? I turned my head for one second to pay my rent and it was all over. This clip cracks me up. Teenagers are so weird. Turn down that noise. Hand me my walking stick. AND GET A HAIRCUT, YOU LOOK LIKE A GIRL. (Via SocialiteLife.)

I predict that that pretty much sums up the whole movie.

I don't know how to say this without incriminating myself and shaming my family name, but I'm into Robert Pattinson HARDCORE. I don't know anything about the Twilight books (I read them all in 10 days last year on a bet, but they were so abysmal I don't seem to have retained any details of their plotlines) and I know nothing of the Twillight movie (I saw it, but it's all a blur of sparkles and seat belts) and I know these are the worst, most execrable books, movies, and people ever created but I'm going to see this anyway.

AND WHAT OF IT? Also, I'm younger than Pattinson if that helps explain any of this away.
:(

I liked him ever since he told Kirsten Stewart that her cat was going to die.

Kristen Stewart, your acting...Woof. I got my wisdom teeth out and decided to watch Twilight while I was riding the fuzzy wave of painkillers and I can now say with confidence that Kristen Stewart is an animatronic puppet. Like the ones in the "Make Love in this Club" video. You know the one.

I think he'd prefer a handkerchief. Possibly one with his initials embroidered on it.

Don't forget that cardigan. The restaurant usually gets pretty cold around 4, 4:30.
