Re: You are Living in 2005 when...

#17 - You have never built your own radio out of a crystal, a coil of wire and a paper clip (sub item: you have never owned a "transistor radio" and aren't even sure what one looks like).

#18 - A gallon of gas is more expensive than a gallon of milk.

#19 - Your phone, camera, phone book, fax machine, calendar, shopping list, watch, and garage door opener are all the same device.

#20 - "LP" stands for the "Libertarian Party" and has nothing to do with music.

#21 - Bush is president - again???!!!?!

#22 - Carroll Shelby is building kick-butt Mustangs again!!!

#23 - Your car has a keypad, but no keys.

#24 - The cassette deck on your stereo has never been used, even once.

#25 - You get more pieces of electronic junk e-mail per day than pieces of physical junk mail per day.

#26 - More than 50% of the people listed in your address book are people that you have never actually met face-to-face.

#27 - You know how to compute a fast Fourier transform in Excel, but can't add a set of four three-digit numbers with a pencil and paper.

#28 - You think a digital watch is more accurate than an analog one.

#29 - You think "TiVo" is a verb.

#30 - "That's pimp!" is a good thing.
