Yikes!!
I just was reviewing my life list. 843 species in the past 11 years. That is an average of about 77 per year. There are about 9700 species worldwide. At 77 per year it would take 126 years to see them all. Since I started "listing" at age 36, I will have to make it to 162!!
Off to take my vitamins,

Don't get me doing this calculation, Dennis, I'm depressed enough already!
What about the law of diminishing returns. If you plot your life ticks they probably get less every year or certainly will do!
Extrapolate that graph and you probably need to live to about 300!!!!!!

p.s. You will be helped by extinctions no doubt! How sad is that?
