Just so you all know

What you have just posted is pure fabrication. The "norm" was fabricated by those who just wanted to make up their own "facts". The study of genealogy disproves this homespun "fact". It is what I was told and believed until I began looking at the documents and evidence. Go look for yourself.

My direct ancestors did not die in war or the diseases that you speak of. Please notice that if that were the case I would not be presently posting on this forum. I would not exist.

I have looked at the ages of my direct ancestors. The facts are undeniable. I cannot help the fate of those who were not my direct ancestors. I cannot average them into my line of descent.

Get your head out of your left britches leg.

Whatever. :Whistle

And just how many times removed was your great-grandpappy Zeus again? And it's cool that your wife and acquaintances all seem to be related to the immortals.

You do not know just how ignorantly you are presenting yourself. As an example, I also studied stastics in college and know that you cannot make your statements above without mountains of data. You have no data. But you make your statement anyway. It was a bologna statement.

The data for average lifespans is well known, well crunched and easily availble. No need for me to re-invent the wheel as you (ignorantly) assume. It only takes about a minute's thought to realize that the figures you claim as averages in your family tree, that of your wife, and those of your "acquaintances" deviate enough from the standard as to be beyond wildly unlikely to be accurate. It is barely possible a that a small direct line in a family might fall outside standard norms for a few generations, but not when you are talking multiple related people going back many generations. In order to have average lifespans of 80 years old, you'd have to have MULTIPLE ancestors who lived way beyond 100 years old just to account for random accidental deaths at earlier ages and not even taking into account early deaths from disease.

It's crap, MB. No matter how you try to insult me, you won't make that crap smell any sweeter.

That is balogna. The data for average lifespan is NOT well know. It is a myth told over and over. It is folklore.

You mention of what is necessary for an "average" lifespan. Well, duh!

Produce evidence that the data for average lifespan is a "myth" or shut up. Since you can't, I will consider this conversation closed.

At last!

AV, I love you! I almost spewed my Diet coke w/Lime and caramel color all over the monitor!!!! rofllol

MB, you're full of bull hockey. I've done plenty of my own research so I definitely don't believe yours. And not just on my own "direct ancestors." If, by that you mean, mom and dad, grandpa/ma, great grandpa/ma, etc. without factoring in their siblings, etc., you're full of bull hockey!

How many genes do you carry that have been contributed by their siblings, etc.? How can they be averaged into the ages of your direct incestors (SIC, in your case)?

Oh boy...Mental illness is running rampant here along the 285 corridor. Everyones either has ADD, ADHDD, or are Bi Polar.. Sadly it looks like being normal has now become abnormal.
