Damn this granny can't drive

Aah! the three stages of growing up, first you worry what everybody thinks of you, then you worry about what you think about everybody, and finally after 50 you don't give a toss about what anybody thinks.

Thinking about this theme, I wonder if your age has anything to do with the number of all the people you know dying?
You know when your are ten 10% of all the people you know die (grannies, older aunts n uncles etc.) also at that age you don't know that many people.
By the time you are twenty you know a lot more people so 20% drop off the perch, older people and accidents/illnesses.
When you are fifty 50% have fallen off the bus with heart attacks, strokes and accidents, of cause by now all the older people have met their maker etc.

It all sounds very depressing Wynn, but very true. It’s a steady strong incline on the death graph which should have 3 spikes. The First is when grandparents die during our young life, then parents/uncles/aunts in mid adulthood, then a big spike with our friends and cousins (generation) in later life – with us dying somewhere in the middle of this last spike. Nasty business this death thing - I will get frozen like old Walt and beat this graph

What is most alarming, every time some one goes to the yonder, it simply means that we move one step closer to the finish line.

You'll still be dead though!

You'll still be dead though!

Agreed, but during reanimation I will be alive again thus beating the graph upon final analysis


Walt has some problems, the tech back then was still crude and he probably won’t make it

He will most probably come back with a brain like Pluto
