That has a strange appeal to me today - with the passing of my b-day I realised that I have already wasted about a quarter of my (current) life expectancy (don't worry, I have no intention of doing anything constructive about this, I'm still going to sqander my days posting away on Heartland 
).

I guess the man with the sasquatch on his chin's never heard of "overpopulation".
Who wants to be a spotty teenager for 1,000 years? Who wants to be poor for 1,000 years?
"People also say we will get terribly bored but I say we will have the resources to improve everyone's ability to get the most out of life."
Does this guy really think that rich people will start voting for an effective welfare state just cos they live longer? Hell no! They'll need more money for themselves! Oh hang on...
"People with a good education and the time to use it never get bored today and can't imagine ever running out of new things they'd like to do."
He was only referring to "educated" people not running out of things to do. Right, so only "educated" people get to live for a thousand years, and the rest will be harvested for the blood to sustain their unnatural lifespans. That makes more sense...I forgot that Cambridge floats somewhere above planet Earth.
Fvck that crazy sh!t. Gimme a Star Trek future or gimme death.

Cool, that means we can use the Sarlacc as a good deterrant :
the stomach pit of the Sarlacc keeps its prey alive for a thousand years, slowly dissolving its meal into needed nutrients, while the hapless victim is kept alive in searing, endless agony.

As for a Sisters album, I'd also like to be in a band that does something.
Neither have any chance of happening.

Funnily enough, my Doctor said that I should cut down on fatty, sugery, salty food, try to be less obssessed about sex and give up ciggies and excessive drinking.
I asked if I would live for a hundred years if I did so and he said no, it will just feel like it.
I thank you

1000 years?! - those bastards are determined to get that bloody student loan back off me.
I think the term "lifetime guarantee" might drop out of common usage, however...

Statistics of the boring kind...
If you invest $1 and made a modest 5% above inflation return, that means you'd have approximately $39 billion in 500 years. If you pay tax of 40% every year, you'd instead get a very modest $2.5 million.
In 500 years you'd have an 15% chance of having been killed in a Motor Vehicle accident. 28% in a thousand years.
If the rate of technological develpoment continues, your laptop will be 10^176 more powerful than it is today. To put this in perspective, consider your laptop's power to be an atom in the universe. Now consider the numbe of atoms in the unverse. Take those atoms and assume each one is a universe in itsself. Add up all those atoms in all of those sub-atom universes. Times by the number of people on the planet Earth. That's how relatively powerful your new compuer is.
I need to get out more right?
