The "half-your-age-plus-seven" rule

This is why I love wikipedia.

The half your age plus seven rule is apparently a rule of thumb regarding the social mores regarding age discrepancies and dating/relationships.

Nowhere else could you find such total bullshit passed as fact. It must be fact it has a graph for god sakes.

My favorite part of the page is right here:

Take a look not one, not two but 7 different sources for that little nugget...it must be true right. I did a litttle digging and guess what? Thats right you guessed it, not one of those links actually references the rule.
