This story is a classic:

Geezer Power: Older Men + Younger Women = Longer Lifespan
ABC News, by Lee Dye

Scientists think they've found one of the reasons why humans defy evolution theory and live well beyond their reproductive life. It's all those old guys latching on to younger women and passing their good genes down to their kids. No kidding….*** Older men helped increase the birth rate in the population as a whole, because more old guys were remaining useful, and it also meant gramps was passing along a pretty good set of genes.

OK…all you science types out there…if you can also explain the staggering benefit that derives from geezers purchasing sports cars my universe will be complete!
