Do you expect to see Halley's Comet when it returns in mid-2061?

I doubt if I will; I'll be a centenarian by then.
I saw it in 1986, though.

1. I would be 102 so doubt it
I doubt any of you will make it past 75, with the way you neglect and abuse your bodies.

25. I'd be 99
I don't know if I'd want to live that long.
What is the life expectancy of a pineapple, anyways?

27. One way of the other.
I'll be 106, with a few decades to go before I start slowing down. Otherwise, I'll catch it in the next reincarnation...unless I'm a bat or a mole.
Sorry, but that would be a promotion from being a primitive.

32. No way in hell I'm making 90
50 and I'll be lucky.
After a string of ancient decrepit primitives check in, the OP asks:

10. Nope--I expect to be dead by then! n/t
Calpig crawls out of her casket to chime in. Serious question- when they set Calpig's face after she's dead, will they stitch her mouth shut, or leave it gaping, as it always was in life?
Then, my favorite exchange:

20. I would be 110.
Possible. My dad made it to 90, and my mom is currently 93 and sharp as a tack. We'll see.

28. Sure it's possible, but 110 would be a super-centurion
A super-centurion is uber-rare. There are currently less than 100 in the world out of 7 billion people. 90 and 93 are relatively common.
:rotf: Super Centurion! It sounds like a trim package on a Buick. :rotf:

31. Centurion...

Remember- they are the smartest people in the world!

Posting on DU, he's either a (moon)bat or a mole already...
Or is this a coded CC shoutout?

That's a good question. Let me run the phrase through the Super Centurion Disgronifier and see what I get:

18. If it weren't for Alzheimer's, I might remember to do it in my 80's/nt
Jake, The word is out that the Big Guy in Omaha wants to have a word with you. Seems he doesn't much care for low post pikers moving in on his turf.

It just goes to show you how two groups of people can be on totally different wavelengths. While all of the DUmmies ponder about and aspire to super-old age, I walk around wondering why they don't die sooner. Like, today.

The amazing part is that while all being old,white hippy retards from the 60s they are still sure it is the GOP that is dying out. :lmao:

I suspect Ill be alive - Ill be 91 - Unless there is some sort of accidental death, the odds of my survival to that point are in my favor.

I'll be alive, unless I die.

Within the next five minutes would be wonderful.
