Here's the real problem:

The engineers of the 50s and 60s, with their sliderules and Chemical Rubber Handbooks, were able to dream and to design shit....the same stuff you fly in today.

Today's engineers, with their PCs and who have never held a soldering iron, just bleat that "it can't be done." (see above posts) Fucking bunch of useless pussys.

Course it can be done. It has been done.

There are thousands of supersonic aircraft flying today.

There just aren't any that can take 350 passengers, wearing Ralf Lauren button downs and chinos, who have paid $1,000 for the flight.

That CAN'T be done.

And, man cannot travel over 25 miles per hour. It's a medical fact.

You need to look at the expected lifespan, GIVEN that you have already lived to age "x".

Average lifespan takes into account all those early deaths. And, as you will find out, lots of your friends and coworkers will die ~ 50.

Whatever, gramps. Argue that its not fair after you croak at age 73

I **LOST** weight when I spent a month in Japan.

The food is that non-caloric.

I eat gourmet food like Vindaloo. Costs $50 per plate.

You cannot afford.

Nah.

Maybe you.

Me?

I'm in it for another two decades.

Then, it's diapers and dementia.

Average lifespan for a man is 73. You likely have about 10 years, according to all known statistics.

You are probably correct.

But, I have 20 good years left.

May be more than you.

Your being pretty optimistic. I bet you have 10, tops.

Nah.

Maybe you.
