Radiocarbon Dating is younger than John McCain.
I read an article (and I think I posted about it a while back) that said that John McCain lied about his age when he was “wooing” his lovely and loaded “trophy” wife. Had she been a science major at USC rather than a cheerleader, she might have been able to – wait for it – yes, perform Radiocarbon Dating on her soon-to-be geezer husband. Thank you. Don’t forget to tip your waitress.
She also could have performed dendrochronology (tree ring dating – which is ambiguously younger than McCain) but that’s far too messy.
(Thanks to Laura for the tip!)

Godzilla is younger than John McCain.
I tried to think of a way to mimic in words the ubiquitous bad dubbing of Godzilla movies and their ilk but, alas, I guess that will have to wait until Web 3.0. So let’s just say that John McCain is older than this quasi-prehistoric monster and move on.
(Note to Sarah Palin: in the event that it comes up in tomorrow’s night debate, neither Godzilla vs. Mothra, Godzilla v. Megalon, nor Godzilla v. Gigan are U.S. Supreme Court cases.)

The Pill is younger than John McCain.
According to WebMD, the Searle drug company received FDA approval for Enovid – the first birth control pill – in 1960…. about 24 years after McCain was born and about a year before Obama was born.
People often squirm when they learn that they realize that they forgot to use birth control. Want to see someone squirm even more? Watch McCain’s reaction when confronted about the fact that insurance companies cover Viagra but he voted against requiring them to cover birth control.
I particularly like the parts where he says “I certainly don’t want to discuss this issue” and “I, I, I don’t know what I….” – not to mention the pregnant pause (pun intended) when asked for his opinion on the subject.

The computer is younger than John McCain.

This was probably the single most popular suggestion I’ve received since I started the blog. I never used it because the computer is a seemingly modern invention and there was nothing terribly shocking to me about it being younger than McCain. (Although, to be fair, I did learn that it’s not nearly as recent an invention as I had assumed.)
What IS shocking is that we’re on the verge of electing a President that not only freely admits he doesn’t know how to use one but who almost relishes in his luddite-ness. (Remind you of anyone?)
Now, don’t get me wrong. I don’t want my President to actually be using a computer. I’d like to think that he has more important things to do than check email and look at Vietnamese porn. I would, however, like him to have a passing familiarity with the technology that affects the lives of, I don’t know, everyone!
I’m sorry – call me ageist if you must but if this isn’t proof-positive that he’s out of touch, I don’t know what is.

DNA is younger than John McCain.
OK, that’s not entirely true. The discovery of the DNA Double Helix by Crick and Watson and the first accurate model of DNA structure is what’s younger than John McCain.
But he’s still really old.
(Thanks, Jesse.)
