Six Out of Seven Dwarfs [no. 1036 - @stephenfry]

I couldn't get much past the point when he said that the lifespan 150 years ago was about 40 years old. Granted, I'm sure he was just using the statistic to make a point, but it was misleading and made it sound like no one lived past the age of 40. I understand that it was just a short video in which he needed to cover a lot of information to make his point. But I don't appreciate being fed manipulative statistics for that to happen. He could have worded it differently, or left that part out.

Ok, rant over.

While the average lifespan has been increasing, the age of longest lived humans has decreased. That is because we have more reliable information. I predict that the average lifespan of someone who reaches the age of 30 will plateau at 90-95.
