And fun with science while we're at it. It seems that some 2% of the total U.S. population (6.5 million) is over 112 years old and collecting SS benefits. At the same time, Bill Maris of Google Ventures is looking to spend some serious money in an effort to help people live to be 500.
I will leave it to someone better versed in statistics than I am to compare the SS numbers to the actual age distribution in this country from the Census Bureau and then back calculate the number of dead people collecting SS benefits out there. Somehow I suspect that the actual number of 110+ year olds is small enough to count without going into more than 4 figures.
I am told that your best shot at immortality is to live in Cook County Illinois where you will live to vote Democrat forever.
