Today, HAL turns the same age as James T. Kirk.
HAL was born January 12, 1992, in the HAL lab in Urbana, Illinois, on the twelfth of January 1992. That was thirty-four years ago today.
And the only time James T. Kirk ever states his age in STAR TREK, he says he's thirty-four.

Came here to check out your social media presence while Iβm listening to The Downloaded 2 and this earned you an instant follow π π π
If you like Fraser and thoughtful scifi, I recommend this sequel (start with part 1 if you're new). I admit I'm partial to this franchise as I'm mentioned (twice!) in part 1βbut I promise I get nothing from it (other than pride)! π A mind-bending ride w/complex ethical questions. @robertjsawyer.com
