Sad but the inevetable comes to us all eventually.
I lost a very dear friend a couple of weeks ago, I can still shed a tear at the thought, he made 85 and was gone within an hour of the number up. Age 85.
Also another friend had a close call a week ago, I dropped in to see how he was going and he was in throes of a heart attack.
My arrival saved him, age 78, only a boy.
Another friend is near the ton and activly associated with the Deer research foundation. He is a Kokoda track veteran,
I am assured of seeing the ton. out.
A happy long life to all Wally.

Right on Wal, it takes positive mental attitude and good genes don't hurt; if many in your family make 80-90 or more your own chances look good. I had an uncle who became a father at 90 (teach him to fool around with young sheilas) and I keep threatening my wife with another family in a couple of years -after all my ancestors (Abraham and Sarah) became parents in their nineties. I could wind up with kids younger than my great-grandchildren.

Settle down now gentlemen. While of course we have nothing but admiration for your familial multiplication, it might be respectfully pointed out that at this point in human history there have never been more people on the face of the earth, and they have never used resources at this rate, so perhaps it might be wiser to concentrate on looking after the descendants we have rather than making more of them?
Unless of course you can cause them all to become CEO's in order to reduce the demand for the positions, thus reducing the ridiculous salaries they are paid, and allowing the community to spend more money on some of our more pressing needs such as coming up with good cheap alternative energy sources.
Or perhaps you could breed a generation of researchers of the calibre of Eric Guiler, whose lifes work will leave an indelible legacy!

Oh ye of little faith, of course we are breeding those who will solve the problems of the future. Doom and gloom are the province of atheists and those of little vision, besides there will soon be a war between those who are squabbling over resources instead of solving the problems and then we can get to and rebuild better than ever.

Jeez Den, I can't imagine why you'd reckon atheists are doom and gloom merchants! Not when the Catholic dude who's in charge of organising the Papa's visit dismissed parents of children molested by priests as 'cranky' Besides, all this Apocalyptic stuff about this here Tribulation we're in line for, if that isn't doom'n'loom, what is?

Apocalyptic tribulation started with the boxing day tsunami a couple of years back, but we're still here. It will get worse but one third of the world's population is predicted to survive. Besides the Almighty has the power over life and death so death is just a temporary inconvenience.

Priests should not be celibate that is a Greek and Roman idea adopted by early Catholics, the Bible actually specifies who a (Rabbi) preacher should marry.
