Co-Worker: Is this your Supergrass CD?
Me: No, I don't think so.
C-W: Because I left a Supergrass CD here last night. I wondered if this was mine.
Me: Well, it probably is.
C-W: OK, I just wanted to check it wasn't yours.
(Unfortunately this turned into an actual conversation about Pulp)

The Vulture could fly because of an anti-grav device. I don't think he had hollow bones. They did replace the old guy at one point with a young bruiser, but he was still third rate.

The Owl had hollow bones, which were presumably counterbalanced by his being a fat tub of lard.

this could be boring but...
here is my top 10 pragmatic longevity tips nowadays
1 basicaly be happy.
2 practice c.r
3 sleep 5 or 6 hours per night, no more no less.
4 do light exercices like walking an hour per day, using steps rather than elevators if you can etc
5 get medical insurance
6 practice yoga to learn how to breath healthily to avoid stress and anxiety
7 work at a place that is not polluted, have low accident risk and feel a healthy pride at your workplace
8 be part of a social network: join a commercial, charity or recreational group for a sense of belonging against alienation
9 don't smoke or hang around second hand smoke
10 avoid living in an area where disasters are likely to happen (war, earthquake, tidal waves, tornado etc)

what are your best practical longevity tips?

I think the idea of working out doesn't sit well with people becuase its no fun, in fact its a loathesome bag of dead infant octopuses rotting in the dump. SO, I have been trying to think up a way to make it more enjoyable. I also would like to host " Wake Me Up" THis would be an hour of aerobics to the song "Wake Me up Before You GOGO". By the end you would be insane and very happy and fit.

And I couldn't help but recycle the "you're old . . " line. Me and a friend were in a taxi coming back from Liverpool and when were stopped at a set of traffic lights he spotted two middle aged women in the car next to us, so he winds down his window, signals for them to do the same, which they do, before screaming the above insult at them until our car pulled away. Good times.

yes i know hstencil, but i have been thinking lately that, in the context of america, bush, etc., have been pushing us towards some strange dystopian darkness that could be avant in the same way that the Birthday Party was (of course, I am in favor of post-punk and against Bush). But seriously, can't you picture Bush or Cheney going to the UN and screaming "Hands up, who wants to die!".
