   I vaguely recall reading something that may be that or something   
   similar.   
      
   Think of it as a way to applying Indiana Jones' remark "It's not the   
   years, it's the mielage" by measuring the mileage.   
      
   The goal I seem to associate with it is to answer the question: why do   
   some people live longer than others? The idea ultimately to share the   
   wealth by converting the answer into a marketable treatment or drug.
