I'd go with two score and two lustrums. It makes it sound like a fun age. Or, you could proudly state "I am 10 lustrums old." <BR/>For more fun give your weight in stone.<BR/><BR/>Missicat, you're welcome. Isn't lapis beautiful?<BR/><BR/>Tom, thanks for your list.

Fortunately there have been enough people that have taken the time to understand them and other wild animals that we haven't (as a race) managed to wipe them out completely. <BR/><BR/>Lustrum, sounds good and it is always good to learn a new word. So, is there a word for 1/2 a score? or will I be two score and two lustrums next birthday?Rebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05318594769530526005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1892083748555571767.post-41935602748863210832009-03-10T06:54:00.000-06:002009-03-10T06:54:00.000-06:00df Bag Lady, I think you're right about our fear....df Bag Lady, I think you're right about our fear.

Humans harbour a deep-seated fear of them stemming, I think, from our primitive roots. <BR/><BR/>And thanks for the education regarding one-quarter of a score.
