Let's face the truth of it; namely, that with proper diet, and regular exercise, your body can last a lifetime.

Yeh. If you start when you are 20, then take one tablet of homeopathic Arnica (30C) every morning, after 25,570 tablets, you'll live to see your 90th birthday.

Well, Rouser, a few more miles of fact mountain to climb, and you'll be a skeptic.

:rolleyes: Hans :rolleyes:

Actually, that's entirely and logically true! Everyone's body lasts their entire lifetime. When their body stops working completely for any reason, the lifetime is over. Of course, it's just that some lifetimes are longer than others.

Don't forget good luck (to avoid catching virulent organ desroying diseases and the worst types of cancer)

Something an instructor told me at airborne school comes to mind here:

“In the event of a main chute failure, you have the rest of your life to deploy your reserve chute.”

Something we can all agree on. A tautology.

Reminds me of the episode in Neil Gaiman's Sandman where the few people who have discovered that they just don't die are meeting up, and when a wall finally falls on one of them he feels cheated and still doesn't believe he'd lived long enough.

At the same time Death comes for the little baby in the romper suit and picks him up. "Is that it?" asks the child. "Is that all I get?" Death replies seriously, "You got exactly what everyone gets. You got a lifetime."

Lots of things can make a lifetime quite short, no matter how well you eat and exercise.

Skin cancer from sun damage.

Brain cancer thanks to genetics.

Epilepsy for a variety of 'natural' reasons.


Diabetes.

Leukemia.

Plus tons of others. Reality.

Proper diet and exercise are good, but won't ward off reality.

Not true. Sure, it lowers your risk of CHD, cancer, diabetes, but there are a boatload of diseases in which those lifestyle factors apparently play little role.
 
Can't help feeling some of us are missing the joke here.:)

Other quotes from the Ephebian school of Philosophy-

"It's a Rum World all right. But you've got to laugh, haven't you?"

My hypothesis.....Having been beaten to a pulp by some of his fellow posters in other threads, Rousser has decided to become a comedian.

My assessment......He is still failing miserably.

Got it yet, chaps? We think so.....

No.
