As the deaths
of the famous and quasi-famous continue to dominate the news, you may be
starting to wonder about your own mortality. Perhaps when people reach
a certain age, a larger percentage of their peers, both unknown and
well know, simply start to pass away? How long can we all expect to
live? The Life Expectancy page on the FastStats site from the National
Center for Health Statistics may provide the data you'd need to answer
those questions:

But,
if you don't want to spend what little time you may have left digging
through the site, average life expectancy as of 2013 was 78.8 years.
