'Dying' now officially less likely

[Ashles]

I wasn't sure whether to put this in humour or another forum, but I couldn't let this headline go to waste:

ASPIRIN CUTS RISK OF DYING BY 25%

Wow.

ASPIRIN CUTS RISK OF DYING BY 25%

Wow.

So, if you take four of them......

 

[Dustin Kesselberg]

I take it often.

 

[casebro]

The death rate is still.... one.


Lessee if I got the stats right form the article: 6.4 years, 3 fewer deaths pre 100,000? I think that extends the average life span by about 27 seconds?

Brilliant!! Thanks for that idea. I wonder if an overdose would make me younger, or is that just homeopathic aspirin?

Wow.

So you think dying is definitely inevitable? Although that was probably just a poorly worded headline, lots of smart people don't consider dying to be inevitable. It had been discussed at length in this forum.

Aspirin thins the blood and makes me feel good.

Pussies. I go the whole hog; warfarin. By the gallon.



I'll live to a thousand!

ASPIRIN CUTS RISK OF DYING BY 25%

So...

There's a one in four chance that I'll be immortal with aspirin?

I'm in.

really?

 

[TellyKNeasuss]

Does it also cut taxes by 25%?

 

[wahrheit]

Forget it, you're a guy!

A SMALL daily dose of aspirin can reduce a woman’s risk of dying by 25 per cent, research has revealed.

It's only for them females.

Men will continue to die within the usual 100% probability.

 

[brodski]

Does it also cut taxes by 25%?

No, if this report is true it will increase taxes by an infinite ammount for arround 25% of the female population.

 

[Dr Adequate]

So, if you take four of them......

... then you'd still have a 31.640625% chance of dying.

 

[GreedyAlgorithm]

25% killed my brother.

 

[brodski]

... then you'd still have a 31.640625% chance of dying.

I’ll be taking 232, I think a 0.00000000000000000000000000001 in 1 chance of ever dying is a risk I am prepared to take.
But first the sex change.

 

[Wowbagger]

so... maybe it wasn't the rubber bands, afterall. Maybe it was simply the aspirin I once took...

I don't think any discussion of immortality has revolved around taking aspirin (unless Interesting Ian was involved at any point in which case all bets are off).

I just can't Bayer this any longer.
