I will be 43 and 7 months by that time.  :o

However I know that 1995 is long ago - and therefore the same time has to pass before 2030 ;)

By the way: I remember watching the Lion King already in 1994. It was released in the US in June 1994 and in Germany in November.

We are about 14 years and and 4 months away from January 1st, 2027 but we are about 14 years and 9 months away from December 31st, 1997. So 2027 is closer to us, than 1997.

Unbelievable. In 2027, 1997 will be as long ago as 1982 is today  :P
