Intensive studies have shown that nearly 98% of people living will die at some point in their lives. (Usually toward the end)

[dmz]

This just in.

100% of the most fit, die.

[Jagdgewehr]

Judging by my looks, I’m dying on time.

[kimmie7]

Sounds good! I’m 41 and am most often guessed at 32.

Sucks to be Greg Oden.

Let me get this right. People that look old die young and people that look young die old?
Anyone ever seen a picture of a 102 year old. They look old and they are old.

I’m confused......

[wastedyears]

I’m 24 and I look 16...

George Washington didn’t have socialized health care and he’s dead.

Are we really willing to risk calling that a mere coincidence?

[ronniesgal]

I had that problem, once.
Couldn’t wait to look older! That day has come.
It is good for the cosmetic companies, not so good for me.

You know what they say: It’s not the age. It’s the mileage :)

I think your health generally shows in your face.

[Star Traveler]

I don’t know, but that sorta sounds like someone saying... “People who don’t age as fast live longer...” LOL...

[rightwingextremist1776]

So how ‘bout Keith Richards of the Stones...how’d he last so long...talk about the walking dead.

You have the face God gave you until age 40. You have the face you have earned after age 40.

This thread is begging for the bad joke of the day.

Q: Why does the husband usually die before his wife?

A: Because he wants to.

[zlala]

Because he wants to

Sounding a bit like hodar there....

I really feel for him, the guy can't seem to catch a break.
