How old is Skinner anyway?

I was told this was him, on the right in the first pic (w/DU shirt)

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x1058868

But he looks much younger than I expected.

I am so impressed! :yourock:

7. Of course...

...I am UNDER thirty, and I look a good ten years older than him.

But at least I have all my HAIR!

He posted that on some thread or other before. I don't remember his exact age.
