Thumbs down Jose Abreu Is A Liar!
I found this particularly entertaining. I traded for Abreu prior to this offseason.

If I remember correctly, DNA becomes damaged over time in a pretty predictable way. It's sort of like counting the rings of a tree.

(that might be totally and completely wrong)

Chromosomes have telomeres at each end which shorten each time a chromosome splits, so they can be used like the rings in a tree to determine age.

Good point. I'd forgotten about that.

It doesn't really work.

There's no scientific test that can determine your age - Vox

I once lied about my age, too. It was to a drunk 22-year old girl in a bar, IIRC.

But were you trying to pass yourself off as older or as younger?

If she says she's 22, and looks 22, she's probably 16. Is 16 legal in Germany?
