sorry... but where are you going with this? would it be less of a ripoff if it was 800 years? 8000? is anything short of immortality a ripoff in your mind?

would living forever be fun? if we are finite beings (unless you are a god and are infinite) then we have finite possibilities of experiences that we can have... if we live for an infinite amount of time then eventually we would experience every possibility possible and could then only begin to repeat the same experiences over... once you relive everything there is still an infinite amount of time left and so all one could do is keep reliving the same things over and over... sounds boring to me.

maybe i am missing your point though...
