There is an article in the BBC today about Framingham here in Massachusetts. It is a brief story of about 5,000 volunteers (starting from the mid 50s) who have been contributing to an extensive study on "why and how we get or inherit heart disease", the results of which are used for diagnoses around the world. Winnie Toy, 88, is one of the volunteers. She signed up for the study in 1948. Here is a brief extract of the conversation between her and Humphrey Hawksley, the BBC author of the article.
"And eggs," chipped in Winnie. "We were great egg eaters."
"So who's healthier?" I asked.
"Well I'm still here, aren't I," said Winnie.
Yeah!
Now all she needs to do is add a bit of Whiskey to her everyday diet for the ultimate touch :)
"Ripley: Why do you care about them? Annalee Call: Because I'm programmed to. Ripley: You're programmed to be an asshole? You're the "new model" asshole they're putting out?" Alien Resurrection, 20th Century Fox, 1997.
