Awesome.
A pic what it's normally looking like would have been great. Quite stunning too, I guess. I love when usually pretty dry areas awaken from their Sleeping Beauty slumber.

Since as early as 1921 there had been 42 verified attempts.
They should have called the MIB for I'm convinced he was a cockroach in disguise. Just wouldn't go down.

True. Which the study further proofs I think.

I don't disagree. Tried to incorporate former posts. But as far as I know these statistics don't count deaths by war.

More or less what the monastery study proofed.

That's what I always thought but it's true. Traditionally men have more stressors and are taught from the beginning that they have to fight, solve problems, not cry and ideally never ask for help. If you can take those factors out of the picture it kinda makes sense that they live longer lifes. Sure, the physiology is different but they were made for those differences. Knowing nature if everyone can get what they need and there are no stressors they should pretty much be on equal footing.
I thought it was an interesting thesis. Very neat. Never really thought about it.

A few years ago I heard about a study where they only looked at monks and nuns.
Both have similarly organized, very structured and repetitive days of work and prayer. They usually know exactly what's coming and don't tend to stress about things.
Unsurprisingly there was no significant difference in life expectancy.

He's very small there. If his father lost his fortune shortly after he could have grown up poor and would have had no memory of ever being rich.

5 months in that trench hell are enough to become insane.
