So far we don't have any of those products, and stuff like this makes me even more adamant that we continue to avoid them.

Sometimes for my number I give them 867=5309. That is Jenny's number from the pop tune.
I also give them a birthday from the late 19th century.

When I first signed up for Facebook, I listed my birth year as 1905. I have never corrected that.

But one of these days I’m expecting some algorithm to notice that I’m now almost 120 years old…
