@heywoodu It's some "interesting" people living in the Netherlands? 

 

A 69-year-old entrepreneur in the Netherlands wants to legally change his age to 49 so he can go back to work and meet more women on Tinder, according to his lawsuit.

The self-proclaimed positivity guru argued that he feels 20 years younger, and compared the age difference to being transgender, despite the concepts being completely different.

"You can change your name. You can change your gender. Why not your age? Nowhere are you so discriminated against as with your age," he told De Telegraaf.

Ratelband argued that he is a "young god" and said changing his age would allow him to "live differently," saying he would get more matches on Tinder if he could use a younger age.

Emile Ratelband has not managed to convince the judge to make him 20 years younger. In fact, the judge has made Ratelband a hundred years older and so legally dead. "You are now officially born in 1849 so you are now long dead", the judge said. "Dead people aren't even allowed in here. Get out of my courtroom, you creep."

 

"I felt like Emile Ratelbad had been dead and buried for years, but it's nice that the judge has now acknowledged that feeling", according to all Dutch people.

Oh well, maybe in 25 years from now this is seen as normal :p

Well on our 24/7 news channel, a panel discussed this, and they jokingly said that they wished they could legally be 65, so they could retire form the job market. :p
