You can also live forever, if you have right combination of genetics and environment.

Like when someone says "Lisp is homoiconic," and that automagically creates a thread of people tripping over themselves to make the same points they do every time "Lisp" and "homoiconic" appear in the same sentence.

There should be a list of these language snowball avalanches somewhere. They work every time.

I assume Lisp homoiconicity is closer to fact than "You can write safe code in C".

I mean it is possible. In the same way all molecules of air could bunch up in one corner of the room suffocating you. It's a possibility.
