Find out what people your age have accomplished, so you can feel bad about yourself... Click here (http://museumofconceptualart.com/accomplished/), to find out.

As for me (27), I'm pretty sure I've accomplished more than this:
"Conceptual artist Piero Manzoni crapped in 90 small cans which were then factory sealed and offered for sale at the price of gold."

19th century composer Franz Schubert wrote nearly 200 songs (including two of his best songs), 3 masses, 3 symphonies, and a great deal of piano and chamber music before turning 19.


I feel like a slacker.

Reminds me of the time my dad hired a doctor, and this doctors wife graduated from COLLEGE and went to medical school when she was 16!

Napoleon abdicated the throne. I abdicated mine long ago. September 1975 as I recall..

John Locke began to publish the results of a lifetime of study and thought, including his "Essay Concerning Human Understanding. Mine should fit in 500 words or less.

"Christo completed his 24 1/2 mile "Running Fence" through the hills of northern California."

And to think I start getting tired driving that far, . .:D

Why, have you crapped in more than 90 small cans?

Funny. By comparison I feel pretty happy. All those people only did one major thing, and look at all I have accomplished. :D

At age 55, Richard Daniel Bass reached the summit of Mount Everest.
Sooo.., by 55, I had driven to the top of Pikes Peak, twice.:drive:

At age 54, Henry Jay Heimlich developed his emergency maneuver.
By 55, I had developed several emergency maneuvers including my, if all else fails emergency maneuver, the “duck and :run: ”.

I don't worry about what those people did by my age....

NONE OF THEM have done as many stupid, crazy, way-too-fast stunts in motor vehicles and survived to my age!!! :D :D :D

Although, I've NEVER climbed out onto the windsheild of my truck while it's going down the road at 35 mph like that numb nuts in that recent post!

P.S. If crapping in your pants was an artistic accomplishment then I had that guy beat when I was only 6 months old!!

Astronaut Buzz Aldrin achieved his life's ambition at age 35 and wondered, what do you do after that?

Oh, fine, just go ahead Mr. Overachiever, how the hell am I supposed to top that? Oh and for next year I'll have to top this.....

Televangelist Jimmy Swaggart had sex with a prostitute. Not too sure the Mrs. thinks this is an achievement.
