The oldest documented person in recorded history, was a French woman, who lived to be 122 years & 164 days...
But she wasn't surfing the internet at that age!

what's the difference between a dead body and a living body? - this is a good question.
body comes from mommy and daddy, but what about "I"? What do I mean when I say "I"?
find this out and this question does not arise.
a pearl diver carries a large stone to drop him straight to the pearls.
if he bobs on the surface he finds no pearl.
so make sure your stone is heavy and plunge straight down into this ocean of 'mind' and find what you really seek.

No, it seems quite normal. What seems quite strange is that although we see constantly that other people are dying around us we somehow think and live as though it will never happen to us. That is actually the most amazing thing in this world.

I'm not giving up that easy... in 100 years I'll be only 124. With modern genetics I may live that age. And then you must give me 10 points! :)
What about hybernation? Time travel? Travelling at the speed of light? Come on guys, be more optimistic!
Besides, I'm not a bad chess player... I should play a game with Death. Although I'm better at video games ;)
Actually, I'm more afraid that NONE of us (= humans) will be there in 100 years. That would suck more than my individual death.

No thats not strange... what is strange is that there will be a whole generation of people who live differently... who changed the rules, who forget us and think lives were wierd. Its not strange, its sad.

Hey, speak for yourself. With the right medical & biotech advances, some of us might be! :-) Check out the books below. They make a pretty good case that we're on the cusp of something Really Big....

No, not strange at all.
What is strange is that we were ever here to begin with.

This is the idea which compels us to have a progeny so that we exist in our lineage.
