HOW YOU WILL LOOK IN 1000 YEARS

I just have read an article which was published here but originally came from an English Newspaper. It tells us how we will look  in about 1000 years.

Now I am really happy that I will not be on our planet anymore to check if this prediction is true unless I am reborn in another body. Then I would prefer to be a cat living in my house because cats still look like today. There is hope, the cats from 1000 years ago haven't change their look until today.



So men will look like in the above picture in 1000 years ! Honnestly I prefer the George Clooney type which probably will be then considered by the female gent as an neandertaler.

He will have a smaller brain, (even more ???) more wrinkles, and fewer teeth

He will be taller at 1.90 to 2.10 (6-7ft) which must be a wrong calculation, because there are lots of men in the world with the same size already today. The scientists pretend it would be because of improved nutrition and medical science.

That his  intestins will get shorter I honestly don't mind.

He also will have smaller testicles which anyway are hidden in briefs, but maybe the string will run out of fashion.

Our most used extremities will change dramatically. Arms and fingers will get longer to reduce the need to reach too far and nerve endings in hands and fingers will increase which will be ideal for pickpockets who certainly will still operate in 1000 years.

We will eat softer food which needs less chewing and biting. We could even get our nutrition from liquids or pills in the future, which could mean less teeth and receded jaws. How awful then I would have to eat my beloved sushis or pasta or vegetables in pills ?

People will also have quadruple chins !  All in all wonderful news for plastic surgeons.

Everyone will have the same shape of nose because climate is having less influence on broad or narrow hooters thanks to air conditioning and central heating. I hope it's not an eagle nose !

Because of central heating and warm clothing we will be less hairy, that's the good news,  but there’ll be more wrinkles as a result of peering at our electronic devices.

We could end up with saggy turkey necks too because extra sun will cause loose skin and baggy eyelids. And there will be darker skin as people move around the planet and races mix. No sunbathes needed anymore.

Am I happy that I live in 2012 and not in 3012 !

ANOTHER ANNIVERSARY TOWARDS THE GUINESS BOOK OF RECORDS

Yesterday we celebrated our 43 wedding anniversary. We approach the chance to enter in the Guiness Book of records.



43 years with the same man is really a record !

To celebrate this event, I ordered 2 Sushi menues, so I didn't have to cook. After 43 years he knows my cooking, but the Japanese style less.



I had to put the bags in a cupboard because cat Arthur smelled the fish in the sushis and started to meow operas in the kitchen. As it was noon, I thought after 5 h of hearing his songs we would both getting crazy. When it was time I put the Sushis on a plate which was quiet a lot of work, but no effort is hard enough to serve a good meal to your man for this special event. I even let him carry the trays  into the living room !



While I enjoyed my sushis and watched the last dramas in the news on TV, he fought with the cats who wanted to jump in his plate, especially the always hungry Arthur. With the time and age, he and Mr. G. become more and more similar, they both have a timer in their stomac when it comes to eating. However there is a difference, Mr. G. doesn't catch mice, but he puts the corpses in our bin. That's called cooperation !

After this delicious meal, Arthur leaked his whiskers and Mr. G. purred with a full stomac and then we watched a Midsomer Murder to end this special day. Fortunately no husband murdered his wife.

43 years ago it was very warm 25°C (!!) (78 F) and while we were celebrating in a restaurant together with some friends and my parents,  our furniture arrived with a truck and we had to leave the table drive to our new appartment to open the door. When everything was uploaded, we returned to the restaurant where our guests had nearly finished.

This was only our civil marriage we had to do it in a hurry not because of a baby but because of our appartment which we had found and wanted to rent, but in 1969 a young couple couldn't rent an appartment together without a marriage certificate !

The big wedding feast took place two months later, that's why we celebrate our marriage twice !
