Well, everybody born more than 125 years ago... is now dead. Guaranteed. We got to all move on eventually to make room for the new people. Whether they be humans or intelligent radioactive mutant weasels.
My current wallpaper is a shot from the LA Public Library website of a bunch of 1920s bathing beauties on the beach. They're all trying to shoot helium balloons out of the sky with bows and arrows, and a guy in the background is running away to avoid the falling arrows. It's a really hilarious and surreal shot, but I look at it every once in a while and think, damn: if any one of them is still alive, she's over 100 by now.
