They used to say that if the locomotive went over 30mph, it’d suck all the oxygen out and passengers would suffocate.

NO WAY!!!

How much state funding and taxes did it take to come up with that brilliant conclusion?

The stupidity of socialist nations is beyond astonishing.

“Ein mal” (the German spelling of this researcher’s name) means “one more.”

Just saying ...

The Bible also said Noah lived to the ripe old age of 950.

...Dutch scientists say human lifespan has limits...

How much of the taxpayer’s money did the Obama administration contribute to the Dutch “scientists” for this revelation?

I’m never going to die (Jesus did that for me and my old man died with him) and I will go to Heaven probably when I’m around 120 years old.

It’s a finite limit, usually reached in males about the time they utter, “Yeah, those jeans make your butt look fat.”

I agree that “natural” human lifespan has topped out near 120, the next step to extend human life will have to go farther that is naturally possible (basically, replacing organs with regenerated or mechanical parts, rebuilding DNA, Nanobots to fix problems at the microscopic level, etc). That should be good to get you to 200 (provided you can afford it). At the point some interesting problems arise in that your brain essentially runs out of “storage” capacity.

Genesis 6:3

Then the LORD said, “My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, because he also is flesh; nevertheless his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.”

Psalm 90:10

As for the days of our life, they contain seventy years, Or if due to strength, eighty years, Yet their pride is but labor and sorrow; For soon it is gone and we fly away.
