Im a photographer and have noticed that many of the girls I've shot who have myspace pages list their ages as 71 or 99, for instance.

The answer to the pocket at 70 is even more childish than 99. They're not clustered around 70; they're clustered around 69. I would also add that 99 is not necessarily to be funny; it's because users can browse other users by age, body type, etc. I would bet 99 and "More to love" as body type have a high coincidence. People don't want to be sought out by random strangers who think they're good looking, so they choose the max age in hopes nobody will include that in their search parameters.

That makes sense. I didn't think there were a bunch of tech savvy centenarians on MySpace! Thanks Kevin. That makes sense. I didn’t think there were a bunch of tech savvy centenarians on MySpace!

The oldest age you can enter is 99 and some people find it ammusing to enter that as their age when it clearly is not. Don't ask me why, but thats your reason.
