Two Big Macs. Unleavened buns, please.

Abraham lived a hundred and seventy-five years. Genesis 25:7


* As fast food crept into the Middle East, lifespans plummeted. When Abraham dropped dead at 175, most likely due to cardiac issues stemming from high cholesterol, people began to realize that the days of living into one's six or seven hundreds were long gone.

The Mediterranean Diet works wonders.

Adam lived a total of 930 years. Seth lived a total of 912 years. Enosh lived a total of 905 years. Kenan lived a total of 910 years. Mahalalel lived a total of 895 years. Jared lived a total of 962 years. Enoch lived a total of 365 years. Methuselah lived a total of 969 years. Lamech lived a total of 777. Noah had triplets at the age of 500. Genesis Chapter 5.

* Perhaps nothing is as traumatic as the death of a young one—to lose poor little Enoch at age 365 really tore apart the village.

* Legend has it that Lamech invented the slot machine.
