"3 No American has died of old age since 1951."Really? My grandmother died at 104 years old and she wasn't riding a skateboard at the time. Died in her sleep and was not ill. What do you call that way of dying?

3 No American has died of old age since 1951.4 That was the year the government eliminated that classification on death certificates.
This is called "padding", making one single item into two.
You do it on tests and on homework that you didn't try very hard at. That is- if you're 12 years old and you want a C+.

Despite millions of dollars of research, death continues to be our nation's number one killer. Although, so far there's no known treatment for death's crippling effects, still everyone can acquaint himself with the three early warning signs of death: one, rigor mortis; two, a rotting smell; three, occasional drowsiness. It is also important to know what to do you when you die. 1) Don't try to drive a car. 2) Do not operate heavy machinery. 3) Do not talk.

I don't buy the 100 billion figure. From what I've heard, they figure about as many people have died who are alive today, around 6 billion.
Even at the high end, I might believe 10-15 billion. But not 100!
For long, long stretches of history the population of humans was probably less than ten million worldwide.

The #1 thing most people don't want to accept about death is .... we're all going to die! And, #2, you can't take fame, prosperity or money with you!

There are at least 200 euphemisms for death, including "to be in Abraham's bosom," "just add maggots," and......failing to outswim Mary Jo Kopechne?
