I predict he will die at an extremely unremarkable age.

Yeah. Out of all the reasons to improve your health on this planet, trying to outrun death is the dumbest.

One of my university professors looked under 60, everybody was asking me how old I thought she was. Her real age when I last saw her - 72. Died one year later.

Meanwhile both my grandmothers are approaching 90 despite looking like shit and having tons of health problems for decades at this point.

I know a guy that died by bumping his head on a cabinet. Yet people have jumped from planes, and hit the ground without the parachute ever opening and lived. Life is weird.

One time a guy shot his own toe and died.

Another guy was hit by lightning several different times in his life and he was fine.

One of those times it blasted him out of one of his shoes. Like a cartoon.

I hate to be that guy, but that's 7 years.

I just assumed they were referring to the '18-'23 jump.

Why stop there though? He looks way older on the last one.

Huh, I kinda thought it was far less dramatic a difference between the last three than the first two

To be fair, with the glasses and the different lighting, we can't really compare.

Sure, but that's just bad phrasing.

Oh man, that last pic.

Honk shoo, baby.

Noah Lived to be 950 years old dying after the flood (Genesis 9:28-29). There's some competition.

The way they counted time didn't translate. Nobody lived to be that long at any point in human history. Never happened. We'd have some artifacts, records, etc. to suggest that. Cleaner air, better food, none of that matters.

This was purely a mis-translation of time keeping that the Christians ran with. Because they're bad at math. And translating things. And anything having anything to do with real skills in the real world.
