Death Clock

[Russell Jaslow]

If you live to July 20, 2069 you'll be alive for the 100th anniversary of the 1st moon landing.

I wonder if we'll be back there by then?

I wonder if anybody in 2069 will believe we were ever there...

I'll need to be 109 to convince them.

I'll just miss it. Scheduled for April 16, 2069 which puts me at 88 years young.

Stem cells. I think they hold the secret to years, maybe decades.

That's true.

Give me some!

Oh, and I remember listening to a biochemical engineering professor back in college state that the theoretical maximum lifetime of a human is around 120-130. Cells start to self-destruct around then and can no longer split. Something like that. It's been a long time since that lecture.

I read a few years ago an interesting article which said that despite the average age of humans going up, especially in the last century, the ultimate maximum age has not changed over time. And that is about 120. So, I'll be interested to know why scientists think that can be pushed to 150.

2071!

I'll live to 83 years old...considering how some on my mom's side lived into their 90's I'm disappointed.

My age was 65, and not surprised, given my lifestyle, but also disappointing because I have at least 3 centenarians within great-relative status that I know of. My family has had 4 generations alive all my life until about 2 years ago, and a chance to renew that status given that my dad is only 72 and my oldest niece is 11.

Re: Death Clock

Jesus, you're young.

Scientific American is running a "has the first 150-year old person been born yet?" analysis. The consensus is that yes, he or she (probably she) already has been. Assuming you're about 30, that would push you out to 2136.

Of course all you really need is for the velocity of the increase in lifespan in years relative to real time to permanently exceed 1.0 at any point during your lifetime. Then congrats, you're immortal without having to suck the blood of virgins.

I'll be a billion seconds old in a week or two.

2045...but if they keep me staffed on this project any longer than next Wednesday, it might be 2016, with the cause being heat stroke when management confirms that I'll be spending the next month in Florida.

I've oft referred to a woman that has the "Kirby Puckett Arse." Bubble-butt is the slang for it.
