Another Strike Against Me

The Key to a Long Life: Conscientious Habits - Yahoo! News: "'The best childhood personality predictor of longevity was conscientiousness--the qualities of a prudent, persistent, well organized person,' according to the two professors (he at the University of California--Riverside, and she at La Sierra University). 'Conscientiousness . . . also turned out to be the best personality predictor of long life when measured in adulthood.'"

Amen, Ed. I should have died years ago. I only stay around to vex my foes.
