One thing is for sure - I won’t be subscribing to Telegraph during my 141 year lifespan.

It's a requirement when you run 70. That will be half your life. That and hating new technology.

I'm of the belief that we'll never see someone live that old, guess we'll see.

guess we'll see

well, we probably won't

You might, but odds are you won't. Sure, anything is possible. Live expectancy decreases so fast after 100. Just a handful ever make it to 115.

Here's the paper itself, which annoyingly is not linked to from the article. https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal...

Why would a rag like this be expected to cite its sources?

Very few traditional newspapers will link to external sites, even the "quality" ones.

Yup that's British media.

You will never see a source, usually you don't even get a full description.

Sometimes they link to something external but only if they don't want to discuss the topic but want to be able to claim to being fair.

BBC is most egregious for that.
