Easy - I'm psychic.... God gave me the power to be able to fortell the future.....  ;D



The real answer is that no one had mentioned the number 13... So i figured mathematically the chances are slightly better... and most of the people on these forums are fairly young.

I really hope you saw the sarcasm there. Well, it actually wasn't clear, but bernhard isn't 13. I am though  ;D.
