Jeanne Calment lived to meet Vincent Van Gogh, to see the roaring twenties, Great Depression, both world wars, the Sixties, the horrible 80's, the internet, and beyond.
I love the French.
I have no idea what this thread is about... Perhaps the benefits of a strict diet of wine and chocolate?
She gave up smoking at the age of 117, only five years before her death. Though she relapsed for a year she finally gave up smoking at the age of 119 years (blindness made it difficult for her to light a cigarette, and she was reluctant to ask others for help). When asked on one occasion for her prescription for a long life, she mentioned garlic, vegetables, cigarettes, red wine, and avoiding brawls. On another occasion, she ascribed her longevity and relatively youthful appearance for her age to olive oil, which she said she poured on all her food and rubbed onto her skin, as well as a diet of port wine, and nearly 1 kilo of chocolate eaten every week.

man god damnit
This is a concept that terrifies me.
Too bad I'm not a woman.
huh
Well, she wanted to live longer, but she ran out of olive oil and chocolate and said, "fuck it."
who gets her quickening
It's the skinny hormones the crazy government put in the water there, along with the nicotine they add to make the entire country addicted to cigarettes (seriously everyone smokes like a chimney). I have this friend who's in France, and she said that most guys' thighs are about the same size as her calves.
* fingers crossed *
Which country has exceptionally slutty people with exceptionally long life spans?
Pfffffffffffff
I don't think I'm going to make it to the era of the flying rape cyborgs-gods.
You don't really spend a lot of time watching people, do you?
come on biotechnology, molecular nanotechnology, and genetic engineering!
I just want to live to see the day we finally actually become an ecologically acceptable culture that replaces as much as we consume.
I mean to say, the current energy issues that face the next hundred years or so are going to be pretty interesting. What if we never solve fusion energy or any of the other solutions? What about the question of global conglomerate empires becoming a prevailing governing power? Lotta sci-fi stuff sure, but entirely plausible considering the power they already issue.
Nanotech is gonna be a great way to die.
None of this "cancer" bullshit... I want to see something the size of the moon collide with the earth at half the speed of light, see the giant, dozen-mile-high plume of fire and ash for a brief second from halfway across the globe before it pulverizes me into my individual molecules and breaks the earth into several dozen chunks.
Or perhaps a supernovae... That could be fun to watch too just before we all fry.
I just hope I make it...
Maybe you'll get to live long enough to see the other 10 pieces of earth floating off through space before the entire system collapses. I'd take a picture of that.
I think you're already in that age, Rolo. You just need to be more observant.
what the fuck that's so futuristic
Exactly. I want to see if we reach this point before we reach the proverbial point of no return, where the Earth is trashed.
I never have true nightmares, but when I do have a dream that causes me to wake with a very unsettling feeling, it's always something to do with the Earth getting destroyed.
On an unrelated note, this weekend, I dreamed that my passenger side automatic window, which was broken, had started working. That next day, it actually started working (after being broken for 2 months). I sure hope this isn't a trend.
What else would you call the Bush presidency?
Then I declare this the era of CYBORG JUSTICE
Oh sorry, got all gay and Rent like reading this thread title.

LIVING FOREVER ER'DAY
that is the most hilarious thing I am sure
That implies there are precisely ten hours' worth of non-dear moments every year.
365 x 24 x 60
Unless you're really getting specific with the 1/4 of a day each year that we add together as a leap year.
edit: oh, I see. I just cut and paste. If it's wrong or you feel like a dick for 10 hours a year it's cool.
