Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen finally turn 18 on Sunday, therefore making it OK for the millions of men fantasizing about them to not feel so dirty about it.

There was an article in Yahoo about it...

Mary-Kate & Ashley: Jailbait No More

There was a line in there that caught my eye:

As of this Sunday, June 13, wonder twins Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are legal adults. The girls will be able to vote and buy cigarettes. Their 18th birthdays also mark the end of an era for the Olsen Twins Countdown Clocks, the Internet sites devoted to tracking the years, months, weeks, days, hours, minutes and seconds until the former Full House-rs come of age....

Hmm...interesting...and further in the article...

But what inspired so many Internet geeks in the first place? Why would someone digitize every second that stands between them and a date with the world's most famous twins?

"Armitage Shanks," an Irish Web developer who declares "Ashley-Kate" to be his favorite, thinks he might "start a betting agency on when they get their first boob job or divorce."

Hey, how come one of the VERY FIRST Olsen Twin countdown sites didn't get quoted in this article? Dan, where were you when this was going down? Where's your interview?

Anyway, happy early birthday to the richest twins around. I thought you were pretty ugly on Full House, but you gals proved me wrong and didn't grow up to be trolls!
