As a teambuilding exercise, the Finnish energy firm St1 had 130 employees wear and use one pair of skis. The custom-built skis (yeah, you can't find these in sporting goods stores) were 140 meters long.
The workers strapped themselves into the skis at a track in the city of Lahti, then skied together for 130 meters without a single foot slipping its bindings. This earned St1 a Guinness World Record for the largest number of people attached to a single pair of skis.

After the first hundred years you are bound to get bored of the same old scripts. I'm only 30 and I can already predict half of what people (including myself) are going to say. There is only a small range of socially acceptable scripts pertaining to a given situation and I think I've heard them all.
If you ask my completely unscientific opinion, it's genetics. If you're going to live a long life (all else, such as diet, being equal), it's because that's your genetic inclination.
Just think of how much longer the 110 year old chain-smoking bacon-eater would have lived had he or she not spent years destroying his/her innards.
Likewise, the person in the documentary would be able to perform much better in the marathon had he not been smoking like a chimney. It's a waste.
So that begs the question; will a good diet and exercise actually "extend" your life... or will they just help you live up to your genetic potential?
not smoke not drink.
And still die of cancer at 35.
