I'm not saying that exercise isn't the cause of shorter life-spans, and there is certainly data to support it, but comparing maps alone is kind of silly. There are a lot of maps that look like that.
- pg 13y agoComparing maps is no sillier than looking for correlations between any two data sets. And indeed, I suspect the resemblance between your map and mine is not a coincidence either.
