Good thing James Bond only lives twice! Scientific analysis of 007's on-screen lifestyle shows the secret agent would have died several times over due to STIs, food poisoning and alcohol abuse

#12  Immortal! The son of a gun
Hummed, "God Save the Queen," but... which one?
Shed blood for the empire?
"Sure," chortled the vampire,
"But just in the dark, or I'm done."

#11  Or, less egregiously, IIRC, Horatio on the Bridge? ["And some folks say," etc.]

#10  Actuarial Karens can carp,
"Lucky Jack should be plucking a harp,"
And statistical hens
Cluck, "Don't run with those pens
Or you're sure to be flattened like Sharpe!"

Forever Bursting Bubbles? Certain Curtains?

#9  Oh sure, Bond would have died, but Shrillary is still sucking wind.

#8  I read my first bond would have died of STD's in the late 70s early 80s. Even as a kid I thought Bond was probably seducing a higher class lady than the magazine writers desperate to take him down.

#6  I haven't seen the new one yet but I get the feeling Skyfall was the last great one.

#5  Last night Mr Warthog and I watched the newest Bond film, No Time to Die. The ending is terrible and out of sync with the style of Bond films. If this is all the writers have, the series will be on a serious decline. Pity.

#1  It is said that 007 was modeled after a WWII British officer who was a drinker, womanizer and did outrageous things during the war. He did not live long as he was eventually a war casualty.
