I am hoping you realise he meant 1066 i.e. Battle of Hastings and not 1966 (World Cup) when he said 1000 years of modern England

Recent studies show that reaching 100 is far more down to genes than anything else. There's one study , can't remember the name, where they had 300 people over 100 do an interview, only 3 of them had been athletes and many of them had lead very ordinary lives, doing no more exercise than the common man.

Aha, well none of my recent family tree reached 100 either, so I'm SoL either way.

If I was in charge of my faculties I don't see a problem living to 100. However, given the list of things medically wrong with me I think making it into my seventies will be an achievement.

My goal is to live to 100 or die trying just so I can do this:

I'm going to have my brain transplanted into a RoboSapien so I can live forever. Saving up for the surgery already.

If I keep going the way I'm going it'll be a miracle if I make it past 40

We all find ourselves expelled from our mothers uterus, as if shot from a cannon. Hurtling towards a barn door, studded with hooks and rusty nails. It's all about how you spend the intervening time in an intelligent and ironic way. Not how long that time is.

BTW, I was paraphrasing Christopher Hitchens, but I still hold it to be true for myself.
