They didn't. The life expectancy rate was around mid 30's I believe. + The Plague, etc.

A lot of those statistics are inaccurate though; since infant mortality rate was so low it throws a monkey wrench in the equation

Uh, no. Quite realistic actually! No fridges, no medically advanced doctors, no intelligent technology, jobs low, corrupt kings, eye for an eye concept, reckless killing, no rights, churches had lots of wealth/power, etc.

lolbullshit. You know the Middle Ages lasted between the 5th and 15th centuries, right? The Plague only had serious consequences in the mid 1300s.

You watch too many movies. About a third of children died during childbirth. If you made it out of childhood you were expected to live around 40+, even mid-fifties. However, that's IF you weren't sent off to fight in a war, which is another 'monkey wrench in the equation'.

Excuse me one sec, bub, but I'd like to point something out. I noticed you used the phrase "must of," when in fact I believe you meant to say "must have." You see, the origin of this common error is in the verbal pronunciation. "Must have" is often shortened in our everyday language to "must've." "Must've" is a contraction meaning "must have," similar to how the contraction "can't" means "can not." As many people are used to hearing the phrase spoken as "must've," they are often ignorant of the phrase's origin, and simply assume they had said "must of," without thinking about how little sense these two words make together.

I'd like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as "must of" is, in fact, GNU/must have.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as GNU/must have is actually GNU/must have/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus must have plus Linux.

People DID live into old age. Not as many as do now, but people did. Socrates was 70, and nigger went out by poison.
