Seems like only yesterday you humans lived centuries on end, begetting whole gaggles of future centenarians. Back in the day, longevity heavyweights like Methuselah, Seth, and Adam all lived over 900 years. Heck, at the spry age of 600 Noah built an ark capable of carrying two of every creature.Nowadays the oldest anyone could possibly hope to live is about 115, big fucking whoop. Sure, modern medicine has tacked a few extra years onto your average life spans recently. And I'll be the first to admit, I only made it to 33 myself. But for my ancestors, health care consisted of some prayer and maybe a little lamb's blood splashed over a doorway.
Just sayin'.

Don't forget the clean animals. There were 7 of those!
That sounded an awful lot like a mortal correcting the Son of God.

Oh, far be it from me to question you or the holy father. Here, let me worship you for awhile. Better now? ;)
That, and a little somethin'-somethin' in the collection plate on Sunday, and we'll call it square.
