When does a boy become a man? The government of Turkmenistan is closing in on an official answer. By proclamation, a Turkmen child now reaches adolescence on his or her 13th birthday. At 25, that adolescent becomes a youth, but he won't be mature until age 37. Old age arrives at 85. This was all decreed by the nation's dictator, who has also proposed renaming the month of January after himself. quote and link via reason
