The twenty-first century is witnessing a gradual decline in fertility, and with increase in life expectancy, the society will need to grapple with issues of longevity. The cause of morbidity and mortality world over is shifting from communicable diseases a few decades ago to non-communicable diseases.

Geriatric DogsBy Joseph Devine
At what age is a dog considered old? The standard measure of conversion is that one dog year amounts to seven human years. It is important to keep in mind the size of the dog when calculating as larger dogs age more rapidly than smaller ones. Large breed dogs are considered seniors [...]

Il Times online prende in giro i politici italiani e la proposta di legge per l’editoria
Recently, Italian lawmakers once again took aim at modern life, introducing an incredibly broad law that would effectively require all bloggers, and even users of social networks, to register with the state. Even a harmless blog about a favourite football squad or a teenager grousing about life’s unfairness would be subject to government oversight, and even taxation – even if it’s not a commercial website.

“Annoyed as hell” would be an accurate representation of my mood today on my noon hour drive home (all of 5 measly blocks). I’m fully of the opinion that Jan & Dean’s The Little Old Lady from Pasadena was a tongue-in-cheek absurdist piece about the bluehair population currently roaming our streets and wreaking havoc on everyone’s normal driving environment. Second only to drunk drivers, the extremely old folks still driving around town are seriously starting to screw up safety and responsibility on the road as well as make me pull out the profanity far more often than normal.
And, frankly, Iowa driving license law is to blame. While I fully support the ability for all ages of people to possess a license to drive, the fact remains that it is a privilege, not a right, and the laws are too flexible for those who have reached their golden years and past, allowing them to continue to renew over and over with only passing a simple eye exam.

DAVENPORT, Iowa - An elderly rapist was arrested at his retirement home today after allegedly striking a fellow resident in the head with a hammer. The 76 year old necrophiliac was charged with attempted murder and sexual violation of the unconscious body.
The geriatric sleaze is accused of striking 81 year old Lizzie, who despite suffering post traumatic stress disorder, is otherwise stable. Both were residents of (more…)
Georgie Audean Buoy, 84, of The Dalles, Oregon plead guilty on Thursday to charges of having sex with an 11 year-old boy in her foster care and will serve 36 months in prison. She was originally sentenced to eight years but I guess the judge decided a life sentence wasn’t really justified in this case.
Personally, whenever I hear about a hot young teacher being accused of having sex with her 16 year-old student I think attaboy, I wish something like that would have happened when I was in school, but in this case… well, I need to go take a shower, stick my finger down my throat and whip myself on the back with a stick now.
