Lowlife scum Live longer
Or maybe "Short people live longer"?
At any rate, you have an advantage if you live your life in the gutter. Einstein's Big Theory Holds Up on a Small Scale " if one twin spent 79 years living at an altitude 1 foot higher than her sister, the first twin would end up approximately 90 billionths of a second older, " |

This has actually been proved for a long time. If you put two atomic clocks in a tower, one at the top and one at the bottom, the one at the bottom runs slightly more slowly.

It'd only work if both twins were born simultaneously, which is an impossibility according to ... Einstein (and mothers around the globe). Einstein, clever chap, but clearly knew nothing about child birth. |

I used to look up to everybody. Now, I'm happy with my place in the gutter.

So, in reading this thread (but not the links because I'm short on time at the moment, so I could be interpreting this all incorrectly), I'm glad I only spent a little more than 1/6 of my life living above 5000 ft (so far). That may work to about 3-5 minutes, perhaps?

Japonese research proved that slightly under-nourished rats live longer than well fed compatriots.
