The people were 90 years old, on average, when they died..

Ok, lets think about this. They lived to be at least 90 years old!! And we're worried if sleep issues killed them?! They lived to 90! Of course something finally killed them! But they beat the odds. Good grief. Who would do a study like this?

Probably someone who got a lot of money through a Grant from the Government.

My very sound sleep patterns are interrupted by urges to pee. The urges are caused by drinking beer late into the evening. I wonder if I can get a grant to continue my study?

[Secret Agent Man]

Maybe the study could be which beers make you pee more at night.

wasn’t he poisoned?

[Secret Agent Man]

What, maybe 1 or 2 million dollars and 20 years to research it? :)

And even to this day the British deny that they fed him arsenic on St. Helena.

I was worried till I saw 90 years old, then I smiled and relaxed, no way in hell do I anticipate hitting 90.

[cherry]

that jumped out at me too.....90 yrs old.....what a waste o money...

next, we'll hear that people in a nursing home DIE more often than the kids in 1st grade at the local school...

“next, we’ll hear that people in a nursing home DIE more often than the kids in 1st grade at the local school...”

Well, it *is* true. ;-)

Doomed.

Everyone, everyone dies of something ... no exceptions.

Some years back, I read an obituary of a 100+ year old person who had passed. The obit listed the date of death and “suddenly” passed away. I am ashamed to say that I sort of chuckled and thought, “suddenly? who the heck wasn’t expecting it?” :)
