LOL!  I actually carefully spell checked my posting and I originally wrote
"aging" but it looked wrong.  A quick look in my Oxford Minidictionary had
"ageing" so I changed it.  Now that we're getting pedantic smile a look in
the thicker (and heavier) Penguin Dictionary shows that both spellings are
acceptable.  This is confirmed via www.google.co.uk which gives 600,000 odd
hits for "ageing" but a massive 4,000,000 odd for "aging".  It's probably
one of those Brit/Yank colour/color things.

Andy Cranston.

I suspected as much, but I didn't want to ruin the joke with a bunch of 
facts...
