One small step for man, one huge ‘DUH!!!’ for science

I love science.

Hell, I’d probably sleep with any female who comes gift-wrapped in a white laboratory coat.

Still, at times scientists also come with these statements – well, how to say this politely…?

Right, for every real star you have about a ton of starlets.

So yes, let’s just say that sometimes scientists come with these statelets…:

Scientists have homed in on the secrets of a longer life by studying thousands of pensioners who lived to their 90s and beyond. In the case of men, their chances of reaching their 90s were surprisingly dependent on how well they looked after themselves from their 70s onwards.

Really? So, what you’re saying is that you might get quite old if you do these two simple things:

a) survive the first seven decades &
b) don’t go to pot after you’ve hit 70

That’s so amazing!

Next thing, these scientists will try to tell us that it will be quite doable to lower the figures for infant mortality if only these kids don’t die first and then are looked after properly when they’ve reached the age of ten or so.
