Here starts a regular column of thee, where i will post utterly obvious claptrap that masquerades as news. Called rather befittingly the 'Well...Duh' section.
This week brings us to the universe chattering conclusion that rich people live longer than poor. Sorry if i just fell backwards off my milking stool into a pile of sheep innards but this hardly a bum cheek trembling revelation. Here is a summary or linky mclinkstier:
A new report shows that the poorest Australians are dying on average three years earlier than the wealthiest.

The Health Lies in Wealth report, released on Monday, states there's a three year life expectancy gap between people ranked in the lowest 20 per cent when it comes to socio-economic status compared with those in the top 20 per cent.
I am sorry, by who? The Health Lies In Wealth Report?? Who names these reports. Might as well call it 'Rich live longer....bahahahahahahahahahahhaaaaaa ....ahhh'
This is no surprise, lack of money leads to lack of healthy foods, access to medical attention, let alone access to proper medication. Those poverty stricken people in the world have not been dying from boredom all these decades because someone forgot to post them the complete DVD collection of Melrose Place. It has always been lack of proper medical attention due to lack of money or local resources, through a ....lack of money.
This is not news, nether was the 10 year anniversary of the Sydney Olympics (Seriously what the hell was that!!???). 24 hour coverage and front page photographs for an event that happened a decade ago, isn't that a bit pathetic Sydney?
Whats next on the news-a-tron this week, "Scientists discover cats and dogs do not get on", "Surprised granny gets wet after turning on shower" or "Man who sticks head in operating jet engine loses head, police baffled to explain how."
