Burns is 104. His mother is 120, which would make her the second oldest person on Earth if I'm not mistaken.

mr.burns said he was 81 in Simpson and Delilah.

[email] 'Cock Locked And Ready To Rock' 'This Verdict Is written on a cocktail napkin. and it still says guilty. and guilty is spelled wrong!

If Burnes is 104... then how old is Abe Simpson... asi recall from the hellfish episode Abe Simpson was a Sargent (or something like that) and Burns was a private.

private.

Yes, that's a good question because in WOII Burns was just a little guy ruining everything, and he was younger than Abe.

Back in the day the drafted anybody if that helps at all....

For the most part lower ranks are based upon tenure. There are exceptions though. In a battlefield climate people gain rank quicker I believe. Other services also promote quicker than others. I believe my father made E-4 in the army in 2 years (limit of promotion for a draftee) , while in the AF it will take me aprox 3 years.

Al F 729th ACS HAFB, Utah I used to be with it, but then they changed what "it" was. Now, what I'm with isn't it, and what's "it" seems weird and scary to me.-Abe

You know, after making my first statement I came upon something. Burns went to Yale. Im not sure how commisioning programs worked in the day, but with a college degree he would have qualified to be an officer. Now, I do know it depends on your degree. Why would the military need someone back then with a degree in art history?

I want to say there was some reason why Burns was busted from an Officer to Private in 3F19 "The Curse of the Flying Hellfish", but I'm not positive...

How soon we forget the explanation for that... (posted from snpp.com)

Bart: Mm-hmm. You bossed around the richest, most powerful guy in town.
      How come you were a sergeant and he was only a private?
 Abe: Well... he got busted down for obstructing a probe from J. Edgar
      Hoover. We got stuck with him.
