Some Proof That Longevity is Hereditary



This guy in the fedora is still alive, at 63, almost 64.









This guy's dead.

And 70s running and fitness guru Jim Fixx has been dead of a heart attack while jogging for 23 years.

All that fitness crap is highly over-rated. I can "prove" statistically that swallowing saliva over small amounts over a long period of time results in death.

So, I could give up all my vices and poor dietary habits and end up enduring more years deprived of things I really like.

Is that living?
 
Oh, and by the way...that's probably the most repulsive picture of Keith Richards I've ever seen, and that's saying something.
 
"And 70s running and fitness guru Jim Fixx has been dead of a heart attack while jogging for 23 years."

Cool, zombie jogging. And great endurance, too. I can't jog for 23 years now; I have no idea how someone who's dead can do that. I guess that running helped after all.

8-)
 
Eric, some eat in order to live, I live in order to eat. If I don't get the years 86 and 87, so be it.
Doug, you always see my misplaced modifying clauses and I never do. I dreamed I saw Jim Fixx last night alive as you or I...
 
Research from South carolina University indicates even minimum fitness increases longevity. Hear all about it on ATC on NPR, Tuesday, 12.04.07.

So there.
 
Misplaced modifiers are really easy to miss as you edit a sentence. The first draft makes sense, but it doesn't say quite what you want so you edit it. When you're editing, you mostly pay attention to the section you are changing and miss the bigger picture.

At least that's how it seems to happen when it happens to me.
