Off Our Rockers
Off our rockers, actin’ crazy
With the right medication we won’t be lazy
Doin’ the old folks boogie
Down on the farm
Wheelchairs, they was locked arm in arm
Paired off pacemakers with matchin’ alarms
Gives us jus’ one more chance
To spin one more yarn ~~”Old Folks’ Boogie”, Little Feat, Waiting For Columbus
“By definition, a Supercentenarian is anyone who has lived to be 110 years or older.” So states the Gerontology Research Group based in Los Angeles.
The GRG web site further states that “We presently recognize 69 Validated Living Supercentenarians - 63 Women and 6 Men. Our all time high, earlier this year, was 71.”
(Sidebar: the GRG web site could use a serious redesign.)
Since you have plenty of time until you reach 115 years old you might want to read up on some of the latest medical research on gerontology. Try the Molecular GRG whose stated aim is “…to resolve the mechanisms by which the lifespan is controlled in mammals and human.” Heady stuff.
Since you’re going to live a bit longer than you thought we wanted you to at least have a plan:
100 Things To Do Before You Die - #12 is our top choice, #55 happens daily and we don’t recommend #85 (ick), but do go to Ireland.
For the younger set - 33 Things To Do - #8 is actually quite soothing.
Maxim Online’s List - How many of you are going to try #8?
Don’t forget a bit of AFTER the event planning:
LifeGem - Uh, what?
Death’s Half Acre - Donations accepted.
Make yourself into a stew
Things To Do In Denver When You’re Dead
Remember - your 115 year allotment is a terrible thing to waste. Get packing!
