The final proof of our coming demise

As I love to quote: "This is the way the world ends: Not with a bang but a whimper".

Forget the cataclysms, forget the nuclear winter, forget the speeding asteroid, forget the deadly virus released by a nearsighted/forgetful egghead... all this is irrelevant. Proof:

What awaits us is a slow and gentle decay, caused by onset of mass senility. Maybe ants and flies, being a tad impatient, will speed it up a bit, but it will be hardly necessary.
