[quote:47129a31d7="Katcal"][quote:47129a31d7="KaptenKaries"]He means the year when Spiky will be 88 years old. Sorry if you were being ironic, Kat.[/quote:47129a31d7]
I meant that not only will it be 8/8/88, but that she will also be incredibly lucky to be 110 [/quote:47129a31d7]

On that timescale she may not have to be lucky, given possible advances in medical research in geriatrics - unless governments start clamping down on said research because of too many pensioners being supported by too few tax-payers - I have already read about suggestions in Britain to raise the retirement age from 65 to 67, so the government is already worried about the problem.

Well its good to see that speculation on the meaning of my birthday has turned into speculation on when I'll die Personally, I don't want to be kicking on till 110, I'd rather get to a ripe old age get one big illness that kills me off. I don't want to be kept alive with serious illnesses just for the sake of keeping me alive...

Anyway, the number 8 has yet to prove to have any luck value (+ve or -ve) for me in all these years. The one upside is that I have an easy to say birth date for those times when people ask

I've got this feeling that something strange will happen on the 6/6/06.... lol

Oh no, spiky, we know you'll never die, we were speculating on how long you will live, which is quite different...

Pixel, medical progress is one thing, but it doesn't stop you getting squished by freak meorite strikes, pirates attacking your cruiseboat or other more common accidents, but luck does, so it obviously has a part in how long a person will live.
