    From context it’s quite clear that “length” was supposed to say “age”. Seems more like an accidental mix up of words rather than bad source material.

      Yeah, I know what they were trying to say. The whole thing reads like a middle school research essay though, it’s completely full of errors and very strange word choice. That wasn’t even the only error in that one sentence I quoted. Regardless, it’s a very cool topic, just the source (the website, not the research) is a bit questionable.

      Granted, I’m usually too critical this early in the morning.

        Never mind, they have right-click protection on their site. Very questionable indeed.
