Age is the least of your problems, there are plenty of other things that can go wrong.
Many years ago I had a friend that keeled over from a heart attack (aged 37). He didn't drink, didn't take drugs (prescription or otherwise), didn't smoke, had a fairly healthy diet, and no history whatsoever of heart disease. I guess the only saving grace was that (according to the post mortem) he was dead before he hit the floor.

Live each day like it's your last, because one day you'll be right.

just to put it all into context, worldwide approximately 153.000 people died today1

Or, put another way, 1 in 113 people living today will be gone in the next 12 months.

I don't think we have to worry too much about that loon, the Americans have just "lifed him off" and when they say "life" they mean it (unlike over here where a life sentence generally doesn't exceed 15 years).

Yes, although there was a concern about finding a prison "suitably adapted" for his disability, apparently.  ::)

Not sure why. As long as there's an electrical supply to connect it to...  :-X
