    Recent publication from Queens shows that science subject graduates live longer than people in other areas.

    Ahh, all those carcinogens and things won't kill me after all..

    (My children will all probably have 6 limbs tho)

    Man, the things six limbed kids could get up to... Climbing trees, fishing with two rods at once...

    This is good news. I shall annoy people for just that little bit longer.:)

    I saw something recently that said the way to cheat old age is celebacy :D seriously... the idea is once you are past child bearing age etc etc your function in life is over. Women who concentrate on their careers and have a family later in life when they are CEO or something tend to live far longer. I wonder if that means Nuns live the longest of all? I doubt it would effect priests since they dont seem to need women to pleasure themselves.. in fact they seem to prefer not to have women involved at all :D

    There was a survey into throat cancer a while ago and it showed a link to dinking hot coffee. - The group that drank the hot coffee - medical students. (think about it - 7 years of caffine)

    I think my throat is doomed so.

    Just replace it with an electronic voice box when the time comes. You'll be able to keep drinking coffee, and you'll sound really cool, too.

    On the other hand, I recently read a paper where the children of engineers are more likely to be autistic....

    I'm not too sure I believe in it though..
