I met a colleague at a meietng last fall with a name that in my mind suggested a serious Germanic uber-professor who would be very stuffy, pompous and grey haired. His scientific work was also very impressive, which had likely reinforced my mental conclusion that he was a very senior person. Imagine my surprise when this professor turned out to be in his mid-thirties and to look like a young grad student. I blurted out something similar to what you heard--"I expected you to be much older"-to my later embrassment. It's fun to meet people whose papers you admire and with whom you may have been in email contact and never have l met, but I have to learn to discipline my tongue if their appearence does not fit my preconceptions.
