It was a rarely quiet day at the X-mansion, as there were no villains to be fought yet. Most of the X-men had taken advantage of the quiet to go out and enjoy themselves. However one X-man was still quite busy inside.
"But it just doesn't make sense! If I add the approximate year by the equivalent day and subtract by…"
Bobby walks through Beast's off ice, happily munching on an apple. "Hey Hank, what's up?"
"Grrr…"
"ooookay. I think I'll just be going now…"
"No. Wait. Please Bobby, can you help me?"
"Uhh… Depends…"
"You see, this morning I started to organize a list of things I wanted for my birthday, and I realized I don't know how old I am. So I sat down to do the math, and according to this, I, and most of the others here, should be about 60 years old!"
"Ooooh, thaaat. Well that's easy"
"What do you mean?"
"Well haven't you ever wondered why the prof. makes you wear those little blue spandex undies, even though you don't need them with all that blue fur?"
"Well…"
"Or why Jubilee always wears those little spandex gloves"
"It had occurred to me…"
"It's the spandex man, the spandex! Special superhero spandex"
"Why Bobby, what does this have to do with it?"
"Duh, the spandex keeps us from aging, you're not the only one the prof. gave spandex undies to"
"But how is such a thing possible?"
"Haven't you ever gone into that room with the big "DO NOT ENTER" sign?"
"Of course not!"
"Yeah, well, you're the only one then. Anyways, that's where they keep all the extra stuff, you know: superhero spandex, a few clones of everyone for when they get resurrected, random innocents, and a couple of small-time bad guys"
"And they've got this dude down there that does nothing but make spandex"
"Ah, I see, that would all help to explain why Jubilation has not aged past 14 and why Rogue looks as she does despite the fact that she should look much... older. Or why you have apparently not matured, mentally as well as physically"
"Righto"
"Well then, in that case, here is my birthday list. I am going to go find some of those Twinkies I bought only a day ago"
"Um Hank?"
"Yes?"
"Your birthday isn't for another 11 months"
"But it was this time last year"
"That was last year"
"Oh my stars and garters, shall I ever make sense of it all?"
"Nope" *CRUNCH*
"But it just doesn't make sense! If I add the approximate year by the equivalent day and subtract by…"
