Actually, that was the day before on May 8:

Goten and Trunks perfect Fusion, and Gotenks is born, but he is not yet a match for Boo.
Regardless, Piccolo did have quite a 21st birthday, didn't he?

Also, her hair in the reflection looks kinda purple-ish as in the manga.

That's just because the reflection is transparent and the background is purple.

I know that.
But still it's got something to it.
I don't know...

True, on a similar note Gohan before the Buu saga was too ripped for his age.

I'm not calling you out on leaving out one of the 'p's in "ripped", just pointing out that I thought that was "ripe" for quite a while before I realized what happened, resulting in me wondering just how massive pecs on a boy = ripe...

Wasn't Gohan physically almost 18 by then, because of his upcoming birthday and the year he spent in the RoSaT? And besides, Gohan's a half-Saiyan who's had training from Goku and Piccolo, and there are plenty of men
and women in real-life that reach puberty at a younger age and/or just develop faster than others and whatnot. People grow at different rates.
Either way, that's not a fact that you've just realized. That's entirely based on opinion.

I thought it was referring to before the Buu saga (when Gohan's 5-11).
But you're right that it's purely opinion.

Oh, sorry, I misread it. But yeah, it's just opinion.

Sorry for bumping this topic, but I thought I'd go ahead and keep this from being a separate thread.
In Part #7 of the Android arc in Budokai 1, you can see DragonBall Volume #3 on the table during the cutscene with Kuririn and Yamcha drinking coffee at the table in Kame House.

I just remembered that Gohan and Goku didn't brush their teeth for a year in the RoSaT.
Oh, you think the Grand Tour is your ally, you merely stepped into the Grand Tour. I was born in it, moulded by it. I didn’t see the Super until I was already a man; by then, it was nothing to me but blinding!

Yeah, the
the title page of Chapter 384 (Vegeta's Tenacious Secret Plan) in Dragon Ball Tankoubon Volume 32 at least suggests that Goku and Gohan had showers and did laundry during their time in the RoSaT. There was a bathroom in the RoSaT, so they probably brushed their teeth too.

Bubbles, Gregory, and King Kai are all at a table in Yo Son Goku and his friends return during the dinner scene for the grand opening of Mr Satan's new hotel.

It would be apparent that almost everyone in Dragon Ball worships the same god.
