Live to be 130 years old?

[Sean Martin]

AUSTRALIANS now aged in their 20s and 30s could live to be up to 130 years old, an anti-ageing expert has predicted. Prof Avni Sali of Swinburne University's School of Integrative Medicine in Melbourne said the key to longevity was within reach.

He said enough was now known about how to minimise the risk of killer diseases such as some cancers and heart disease to avoid serious threats to lifespan.


The tools for a long life, including regular exercise, a diet high in fruit and vegetables and being smoke-free, were well known and just had to be applied, he said.


"People have the potential to live to 130," he said. "With all we now know about good health, there's no reason that we can't."

Based on current trends in demographics, crime statistics, marxist permeation throughout all institutions, & all other salient social conditions, I'd prefer a timely death to 130 years of this crap. In fact the worst thing some could imagine is Bill with an incurable malady that has a short life span attached to it ;)

I think its possible, if you were a Tibetan Monk, and you were completely insulated from life's, day to day bullshit.

"Keep breathing and eat pickled herring"

I eat them every chance I get. Kippered, anyway, not pickled. Good enough I guess.

Don't open a can near an american woman though. She'll bitch bitch bitch about the smell, trust me. You want to smack her one, but you know you shouldn't, and that internal conflict causes stress. That shortens your lifespan.

So these things can cut both ways, you see. It's not as simple as it sounds.

Jah, I learned to like that crap in Scandanavia. But, I still prefer creamed herring to pickled.

I wouldnt want to live that long without some assurance that my dick would still work. Both for sex and elimination. If it didnt work for either, I suppose I'd be plenty content with a normal life span. Sorry folks, but I had to say it!

Death is a natural part of life. It makes life ephemeral and that can be like the beauty of a fleeting sunset!
