Obviously inspired by today's thread, I figured I'd give everyone a place to publicly predict how long it'll take before Steve moves on to that Cupertino in the sky.

In case you miss it, I'm hoping (and believing) he'll reach 75, at least, due to sheer tenacity alone.

But first he needs to get off of that vegan diet.

Also, anyone who had them on their Death list for 08 come up and take a bow.

No worse than Celebrity Death lists. They seem to be growing in popularity.

I think the vegan diet is going to drain him of his energy even further than whatever (if any) cancer treatment he is undergoing.

But I'm going to guess that as things are, he still has at least another decade in front of him.

One of my college professors was a vegan her whole life. She said she did it not for any moral reasons, but because of all the links to cancer in meat products. (Yeah, didn't understand that one.)

3/4 through the semester she went on medical leave from appendiceal carcinoma (appendix cancer) and had her appendix removed. Luckily it was caught early enough and hadn't spread, so she was OK. By the end of the year she was eating chicken salads and was trying out sushi.
