Why the fuck shouldn't an old person still play chess , ride a bike , surf the net , go to the pub, ...whatever.

This is prehaps the first time in human history, where people get old and still have their good health with them + society let them enjoy life. If you were 80 years old 100 years ago, then most likely you would either be dead or disabled... that have changed over the last century, but still its only within the last 50 years that we have gotten the "lifestyle" we are used to now.
Eldery people are at a new frontier - they are going new ways, and when we get to their age, then most likely no one will think its special that we do not need diapers, drive/fly like mad in our hovercars, and fucking like 18 year olds
I´m happy that I can still be impressed by the progress of the Viagra-popping internet surfing generation out there... because one of these days I will be one of them :-)
(but I´m sure when I reach 100 years, and my grate grand kids are impressed with my ability to still standing up taking a piss, then I will be forced to miss the toilet and piss on their floor ;-)))
