Is there a meaning to this other than just a mathematical quirk?

Question

I cont believe in consequence. I know that everything has its purpose. Can yopu please tell me what this one is?  If you take the year you were born in and your current age, add them together and you will get the sum of 2011.  The GAF is that this equation works for everyone!

Example: I was born in 1960, my age is 51; the sum of these numbers when added is 2011. What's up with this?

I was born in 1981 and my age is 30. OMG! Adding the two together is 2011!

But that probably has NOTHING at all do do with the fact that 1981 was 30 years ago, or 1960 was 51 years ago. It must be this huge coincidence that math cannot explain. I am so amazed. You should write a book about this!

I was born in 1973 and I'm now 37 - this added together = 2010 - what's up with this?

Works for all those who aren't born from 5 October to 31 December!

its not even a mathematical quirk
the years you lived plus the years before you were born will always equal todays date

I think Erwin Schroedinger's most famous equation will answer this question.

T=C^2-H
Wherein:
T= troll
C= cognitive processes
H=Bad humor
