[scratches head] Americans are living longer than ever before?
"US Lifespan Hits New High"
So, I'm intrigued by this teaser on AOL's Welcome Screen, so I click the link to go read the article.
And learn that the life expectancy, these days, is 74 for men and 80 for women.
To me, that doesn't seem very old. I mean, I thought it was gonna say suddenly all these ladies and gents were making it to 100 or something.
I mean. There are lots of folks that live well into their nineties, yes?
Anyway. So those ages don't jive* with me and seem like not very newsworthy.
And you know what else doesn't jive**? That Swimfan is only eighty six minutes. What kind of movie is only eighty six minutes? I mean, Stuart Little 2 is almost that long and it's for the little people with short attention spans, mostly!
*And why did I use the word jive?
**Twice?
