Yeah someone who is 40, comes out at roughly 82 which I thought was close enough. Also it is funny to enter famous old people's birthdays and see "110% complete".

Yeah I figured that 80 was a pretty good approximation because the average life expectancy in the US is 77. It surprisingly doesn't increase as much I would have expected as you age so I didn't account for that effect.

Also at this speed a space ship a 100 m wide viewed from earth would appear to be 0.3125 nm wide or roughly size of a single water molecule. It would certainly be a way to travel!

note: not a physicist so my understanding may be off.

Isn't spam filtering a large part of what these clichés are used for, or at least what the people using them think they're for? e.g. "That's just your opinion." "Now is not the time." "Here we go again."

Quite often ISPs chuck you behind a NAT now which makes things harder.
