Still reeling from the possibility of people having Gender X
on identification documents, I encountered this tidbit:
A Dutch man wants to make age optional as well. He doesn’t
want to be 69, because he’s having a hard time getting dates online. He figures
that if he says he’s 49, he’ll have better luck. So he asked a court for
permission to officially change his age.
Why doesn’t he just lie about his vital statistics online,
the way everybody else does?

The Post-Dispatch had a more ingenious solution: He should
legally change his planet. Mars takes 687 days to orbit the sun, so if he were
from Mars, he’d only be about 37.

The court rejected his request.
