    Interesting stuff, as the old saying goes, there are lies, damn lies & statistics, but it's good to see it visualised.
    I bet $400 buys more in Congo than Japan
    Will keep an eye out for the series.

    I have always found that there is a close co relationship between the number of birthdays someone has survived and long life. Never yet met an older person who who has not had a lot of birthdays.

    ... yes

    ... but interestingly it is also statistically true as well ...

    for example: when you do reach 65 you have a better chance of getting to 75 than a person has who at that time has only just reached, say, 55 or 60
