Fractional Paternity
In 1951, I was nothing: 1/0'th as old as my father. But you can't divide by zero.
In 1954, I was 1/13th as old as my father.
In 1964, I was 1/4 as old as my father.
In 1974, I was 1/3 as old as my father.
In 1994, I was 1/2 as old as my father.
In 1999, when he died, I had gained ground, being 3/5ths as old as my father.
We were riding an asymptote, he and I, and soon I'll be as old as my father.
When I die, I'll finally be older than him, because I = 1/Fa(n).
But death just doesn't add up, does it? It didn't when he died; it won't when I die, too. To somebody.
