99? Do my ears decieve me? Most BD'ers know that Aragorn is in fact 87. If you think he's older or younger though... he was born in 2931 and met Frodo at Bree in 3018.
And just to be sure, I went and did the math myself.
3018
-2931
------
87
And there you have it. Of course, it doesn't matter how old he was. in this day and age somebody who's 87 is usually in a nursing home, not out on a battlefield killing orcs. The source of Numenorean longevity probably comes from Elros, who was half-elven.
