Alarming. I don't know what to make of it really. Time flies--in a blink its another few months and I've done nothing in the intervening period. ARGH!!!!!

So is this really what life is about?

Punctuate the following so that it makes sense grammaticallyand syntactically:

time flies you cannot their flight is too erratic

How old are you, 18?

When I blink we talk about years that disappear unaccounted for :P

I read of a study (far more convenient than trying to find and actually read the study) that apparently demonstrated a physiological basis for the commonly-expressed perception that time passes ever more rapidly as we age. Apparently, it has to do with our metabolic rates... which slow as we age... internally we perceive our metabolism as subjectively unchanged, hence external events appear to speed up, and time flies......

The reason why time passes faster and faster is, I think, this:

At 2 years old, 1 year is 50% of your lifetime
At 20 years old, 1 year is 5% of your lifetime
At 100 years old, 1 year is 1% of your lifetime

The older you are, the less lengthy years seem because they span a smaller percentage of your life.

Nah - it's just that we're all addicted to BBO and spend more and more of our time playing bridge and less on other things that we're supposed to be doing...
