I mean really? The last time people live to the age of 30 was probably 1000 years ago.

Every one of my grandparents with the exception of maternal grandpa were dead by 55. My dad’s mom at 37 of pneumonia.

“In fact, in the past 150 years, the average lifespan in the United States has risen from 35-40 years to nearly 80 years thanks mostly to advances in medicine. Forty used to be the new 20, but before long, 60 might be the new 20 instead [source: Helmuth].”

It only took the world 150 years of civilization to raise our lifespan from 35 to 80. We are swimmin’ in old folks these days - it’s taken me forever to get a spot in Assisted Living for my Dad who will be 81 next month...

...and will live to be 110 just to spite me, LOL!
