my favourite is "no one gets to get old".  that sort of line is usually 
used to give an image of a paradise-like place, fountain of youth, 
everlasting life sort of thing.  but in this case it's literally true - the 
life expectancy of the people out there is about 25 years shorter than for 
the rest of the population.
