Which really isn't too old these days. Lifepsans are increasing little
by little but I think in the next few years we'll see exponential
increases in life spans.

Just check out Aubrey De Grey or Ray Kurzweil's predictions on that
front. De Grey's are based on his own research.

George lived hard and partied hard for a number of years, IIRC. That
takes a toll on the old ticker, even tho he did seem to take control
of his health in later years.

My DH, 58, just completed the MS150 for the second year, but he wasn't
the oldest. I think this year, the oldest guy was 76, but there was a
71 year old who "took the scenic route" and rode 175 the first day.

He sent me off to the wedding of the woman he rode in honor of, but I
met him at the finish line anyhow.

OB Food: the cake was a chocolate Paula Deen concoction of 5 layers
of chocolate cake, interspersed with chocolate mousse, and frosted
with chocolate ganache made with heavy cream, chocolate, butter and
confectioner's sugar.

I think we'll see an increase in lifespans but "exponential"? Not
likely. We see the occasional 100 year old, but I have serious doubts
we'll be seeing 1,000 year olds any time soon.

Heaven forfend! Buy stock in spackle companies if you think 1000 years is a
possibility. Smash all the mirrors. How will I ever get my stockings on

That's the thing. As you age your ability to fight off disease
diminishes. But De Grey and Kurzweil know that we can overhaul the
immune system

Put it this way, virtually all of us suffer from cancers in one form or
another. But our immune systems are effective at fighting a good numbers
of cancers.

No but we could see 150 or 200 year olds. It's coming faster than you
think.

At 110 you probably won't care whether or not you wear stockings, or you
won't even remember what they are. :-)

This is the mistake a lot of people make when you talk about extending
human lifespans.

You won't necessarily suffer the effects of aging during the process.

I don't really wish to see 70. I'd rather check out while I'm still
(hopefully) on at least most of my game.

Well, I hope 70 doesn't mark the end of being "on my game", since I'm about
a year and a half away.

And I think Margaret Suran is living proof that it does not.

George was a man who made his craft look easy and yet he worked and worked
and worked at making it look easy.

# 1 daughter was his Office Manager for several years.

Outside his stage persona he really was nuts ( bad word heard a different

I heard it this morning, too. DH has read several of his books. Carlin
had the remarkable talent to take everyday things and make them funny.
My favorite of his bits was the one about "stuff"

Carlin's humor is very much "of a time and place". It was groundbreaking
and hilarious in the late 60's when he first started out, he broke many
taboos - of course Lenny Bruce did, too, - but Carlin was "in the right
place at the time", so he got mainstream exposure fairly early on...

[_Laugh - In_ I remember at the time as being shocking and hilarious, but
when I try watching it now it's unbearably dated and lame to me...redolent
of a time and place, it doesn't "translate" well to today.]

Remember, when he was first becoming popular the Hollywood Production Code
had only been shattered in 1966 (_Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf_), so we
were more than ready for his brand of humor...he was one of those of who
broke the dam of the last lingerings of propriety.

The last several decades have seen ordinary news items elevated to the
status of sheer weirdness, we are now accustomed to very goofy and absurd
stuff popping up all the time, the demand for 24/7/365 media titillation is
insatiable...the daily reality is often more hilarious than anything Carlin
could have dreamed up in his heyday.

Maybe the prob is that glaring and obvious irony and the absurdity it
springs from has become such a commonplace in everyday life...post -
modernism and post - irony and ennui and all that jazz.

If I still smoked pot I'd roll a doobie in his memory, using a double -
gated Led Zeppelin or Stones album cover, but I don't smoke pot anymore nor
do I have any LP's...

Why on *earth* would I have any "affection" for a *total* stranger...???

I may certainly appreciate someone's talent or admire their character, good
deeds, or whatever, but no, I don't have generally have "affection" for
public figures I've never met...

I'm with you. Over the top claims using words like "exponential" are
just stupid. If you put the average life expectancy as low as 60 years,
the smallest whole number exponent (other than one for any smartasses
out there) is two, and sixty to the second power is 3600. Even if the
person is taking about just the amount of "increase," what is the
starting base, and over what span of time?

Look up "Technological Singularity" if you want to see
what kind of kool-aid people are now drinking.

If your brain imprint is "uploaded", you could possibly live
forever (or at least, as long as technological society persists).

I can lend you an LP or two. We've got a few doubles I think. I'd

Good. I've never wanted to be an old man, so that works with my wishes.

Ah! I guess there was no Lenny Bruce before there was George Carlin,
then. Lenny was made up, like that moon landing...

In fact, I read somewhere that Carlin was in the audience for Bruce's (or
one of Bruce's) notable busts.
