   Reminds me of the Man in the Street interviews. People couldn’t name the three branches of government but they could rattle off all of the people in the Kardashian Klan.

   She does have an unfair advantage. When I step on a Lego it hurts like, well…. it hurts a lot.

   So I pose this question; is Summer exothermic or endothermic?

   With respect to you, this is why I would never use the bible as a scientific reference. What you quote from the Psalms confuses the issue. Supposedly god reduced man’s lifespan from 800 years to 120. Why? And if that was the new age limit, why can’t we all live to see it? 80 is a far cry from 120. You are correct about infant and childhood mortality. If you could get past six years old, you might make it to adulthood, maybe even to 40 or so. 80 and 90 year old people existed but were very rare, much as a 110 year old would be today. So I maintain that since the Dark Ages, or Medieval times, or the time of Jesus, life expectancy has risen well over 30 years. Remember, we’re talking about life expectancy, or how long can I reasonably expect to live, not the flukes or failures.

   Is that the note he passed to the judge?

   I don’t wish them dead, just that they come to their senses.

   I missed the announcement, so I’m belatedly wishing you no symptoms and a speedy recovery. We need you around for a long time yet.

    “delay death for a short time”… Since true medical science took over from the Dark Ages, life expectancy has increased 30 years or more. In the overall scheme of things, that may not seem like a lot, but hey, I’ll take it! We’re heading for “Escape Velocity”. If every year we make advances in science that extend our life span, one day we will be able to extend it by one year every year. That means you won’t die. Interesting to ponder.
