1 in 125 Ninety+ years old!

JT, June 3, 2005
The number of people aged 90 or older topped 1 million in Japan for the first time last year, according to a government white paper released Friday.

(Full Story)

8O Man, 1 in 125 people are 90+... That's damn scary.
And you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

Now, how many of those are women? If we say over 60%, that's 600,000 "useless babas" according to Ishihara. :wink:
