Eric's age is stuck because of the Holocaust origin. The youngest he could possibly be is 36 - if he was 6 in the scenes with Shaw in DOFP and it was 1944. But really?

I thought Google's April Fool Joke was colluding with Apple, Intuit and other tech companies to illegally depress salaries for engineers. Oh wait, that's every day!
