when we were very (four or five-ish) me and my sister would occasionaly be taken to see our great grandmother, between us me and my sister privatly decided that she must be at least 100 years old, because she was so wrinkly and decrepid.
when she died a while after that i decided that everyone must get to live exactly 100 years before they popped there clogs.
In retrospect this seems a lot fairer than only getting 60-70 years if your lucky
