Scientific proof why we live 80 years and other animals live much less...

    On the first day God created the dog. God said, "Sit
    all day by the door of your house and bark at anyone
    who comes in or walks past. I will give you a life
    span of twenty years."

    The dog said, "That's too long to be barking. Give me
    ten years and I'll give you back the other ten." So
    God agreed.

    On the second day God created the monkey. God said,
    "Entertain people, do monkey tricks, make them laugh.
    I'll give you a twenty-year life span."

    The monkey said, "How boring, monkey tricks for twenty
    years? I don't think so. Dog gave you back ten, so
    that's what I'll do too, okay?" And God agreed.

    On the third day God created the cow. God said, "You
    must go to the field with the farmer all day long and
    suffer under the sun, have calves and give milk to
    support the farmer. I will give you a life span of
    sixty years."

    The cow said, "That's kind of a tough life you want me
    to live for sixty years. Let me have twenty and I'll
    give back the other forty." And God agreed again.

    On the forth day God created man. God said, "Eat,
    sleep, play, marry and enjoy your life. I'll give you
    twenty years."

    Man said, "What? Only twenty years! Tell you what,
    I'll take my twenty, and the forty the cow gave back
    and the ten the monkey gave back and the ten the dog
    gave back, that makes eighty, okay?"

    "Okay," said God, "You've got a deal."

    So that is why the first twenty years we eat, sleep,
    play, and enjoy ourselves; for the next forty years we
    slave in the sun to support our family; for the next
    ten years we do monkey tricks to entertain the
    grandchildren; and for the last ten years we sit on
    the front porch and bark at everyone.

    Hmmm, makes perfect sense to me. I've got another 25 years or so to slave under the sun, unfortunately.
