Original: When Microsoft unveiled its new age-guessing website on Wednesday, it probably didn't intend to piss off half the world . . . but that's exactly what How-Old.net accomplished. To use the free tool, you simply upload a photo of yourself and await the site's verdict about your age . . . which would be awesome if it didn't seem to get everything completely wrong. People all over the Internet are suffering from injured pride after being incorrectly evaluated by this robot, and their reactions are simply hilarious. Read on for a few of the funniest #howoldrobot fails.
