I'm Gonna Live Forever

Nova's 'Science Now' quotes an expert on aging as suggesting that the life span of a human is about 120 years. I personally don't know anybody who has lived that long, but it would be great to have another 40 or so years to live, especially if scientists could improve quality of life after age 75. I don't want to be wrinkly and decrepit for 40 extra years. And if anyone makes a joke about me being wrinkly and decrepit now, I will kick you the next time I see you.

The oldest verified age was 122 (some French woman who died in like '97), so 120 seems reasonable. Unlikely as hell, but reasonable. I'd love to see what life's like in 2100, but it would suck ass to outlive everyone you know by decades, including your spouse and children. Still, though... 2100 would be pretty sick.

In the future, only crusty old history professors will know how to party like it's 1999.

I just thought of that. I didn't see it on a t-shirt.
