View Full Version : Statistics show Icelandic men have longest life expectancy
Icelandic men have the longest life expectancy in the world, living an average of 79.4 years in 2007, Statistics Iceland said on Thursday.
"This is a world record. They live even longer than Japanese men," Oloef Gardarsdottir, a spokeswoman for the agency, told AFP.
Japanese men live on average 78.6 years.
"We don't have an explanation. It's really difficult to give a reason why," she said.
Icelandic women meanwhile have a life expectancy of 82.9 years, among the highest in the world.
Japanese women have an average life expectancy of nearly 86 years, according to United Nations statistics.
Icelandic men and women lived on average more than 81 years in 2007, not far behind Japan at 82 years and ahead of France at almost 81 years.
The North Atlantic island has long lived off of the fishing industry but has undergone a vast transformation since the mid-1990s, in particular due to a booming financial sector.
The Nordic country is one of the richest in the world, and has a population of 313,400.

Funny, with the way you whine, and whine, and whine, (and whine....) about the shortage of women in NO, i'm willing to bet you'd do her:

I've heard a pretty good theory that Icelandic women are all smoking hot for a reason. According to the theory Iceland was almost solely populated by viking raiders from about 800-1100AD and they raided other countries where they pillaged and took the most beautiful women as prizes. So for 300 or so years there was, essentially, a eugenics program in Iceland with the stock being refreshed by the most desirable women, hence the Icelandic descendants today come from a very good set of DNA.
Just did a wee bit of research, according to Wikipedia:
One such genetics study has indicated that the majority of the male settlers were of Nordic origin while the majority of the women were of Celtic origin.
Which seems to mesh well with the theory.

Vikings are not the typical barbaric, savage raiders that everyone thinks they were.
Are you saying vikings didn't take women?

Someone stole my first response :whocares: :deadhorse:
The second one is...we have LOTS of COWS like you still here...it's all the single hot chicks that left. If I were willing to play a little Ahab and harpoon some whale meat I'd be well off. Also, doing fat chicks would now be too costly...check one of my earlier posts in another thread to better understand this..flour costs have nearly tripled and rolling for the wet spot would be cost prohibitive.

Not to the extent of films like the Vikings, no. It's contended that they even came to the UK more than a few times to raid.
What films have vikings in them anyway? Beowulf and the 13th Warrior? I can't even think of any other viking films.

Um, The Vikings?
Beowulf, nor the setting, were "viking".
I was talking about the movie, they are using viking longships.
I don't know what The vikings is. I did see some terrible movie about some viking child who was adopted by Indians and then fought off the vikings when they returned to Canada. It was really awful, forget the name.
Pathfinder is the name of the terrible movie. Also some website says Ivanhoe is a viking movie, never seen it so I don't know.

Yes, Pathfinder was pants.
The Vikings is a 1958 classic with Kirk Douglas. It's a total fabrication, but still a decent movie, even by today's standards.

Drama is the best ... well okay lyod/arie might be the best, but there are certainly episodes that Drama owns. That episode where he accidently turned the massage therapist gay and then punched Seth Green's friend in the face, classic!.

I'm not sure what show you're talking about, heh. But the actor I mean, he makes my skin crawl. I don't know what it is about him, but he's like sleaze.

Viking Quest!!! Kevin Dillon is the actor, character's name is Johnny "Drama" Chase in the HBO series Entourage. Best show on TV, period.

Dude, you really suck at this (this = trying to piggyback-insult off of someone else's obvious joke, since you're probably too stupid to understand). And probably at life too. Give it all up, it's the only way.

The title of this thread is misleading. Obviously Japanese women have the longest life expectancy in the world.
But if you are a male caucasian, and feel inadequate, the title might make you feel better about yourself.

Drew is right in this case. There is written history that vikings stole the most beautiful of women as treasure and mated with them. This is 100% true.

Theres also like 8 people living in Iceland. A lot of countries claim they are live longer this or richer that but when their "country" consists of 8 people 3 dogs 1 cat and 1 comatose mouse... it's really not really. In another words you can find more people who live longer then 79 years in the US then the entire population of Iceland.
Iceland does have some hot chicks. I think a well built black man will do well there seeing how they probably have all skinny little white people... and it's cold.

LOL, you have restored my faith in viking lore. This movie was so bad it was funny.

SP pointed out what I meant, he's in Entourage, and he's hilarious, since the show is about the life of actors, he's plays the brother of the "good" actor, but he's just the shitty actor who can only get Sci-Fi channel movie type roles.
His biggest claim to fame is in the Sci-Fi channel series "Viking Quest", which can best be seen as parallel to the Hercules series.
