I'm hoping that April 19th is a good day to be born on. The worlds oldest man in history died today, and he was born on that day - the same as me. He lived to the (very) ripe old age of 116 which means I'm not even half way there!! How good is that? Actually probably not that good given that most of my body will have shutdown by then, but who knows? I wonder which part gives up first? Will it be the legs? They do the most work don't they (out of the limbs I mean), but having said that, I've had quite a sedentary job for the last 20 years so maybe it will be my fingers from all this typing.
I can live without those for a few years I suppose. There's obviously gradual changes in all parts of our bodies, but as the 116 year old proved, you can hang on for quite some time.
