I like when it's an animated wheel, I feel like I'm on the price is right

Yeah, been doing the latter one, too. Just need to "be of legal age," and that does the job. Gotta wonder how many people were "born" on that date, tho.

Of course, I'm old enough to remember when you could just type it in via a combo box - was SO fucking much faster. UI design used to matter, but now it's all dumbed-down shit thrown together by thoughtless morons for whom appearance matters 10x more than usability.

I am consistently giving a fake one, since I am 14, so it's 4 years before the real one. xD
