I dont find that funny at all. Sarah wasa beautiful woman, which tells me she certainly did not look her age.

It helps to understand the culture a little bit: Our Hebrew spiritual forefathers were honored by attributing long life to them. The longer you lived, the more in favor you were with God. Moses lived the maximum possible 120 years. (Yes, I know, other bible characters lived longer, but such lifetimes were all given by a different writer or school of writers - they would not have understood it was impossible to live longer than 120 years).

I wonder what he would think about the lunacy commited by the 3 branches of intolerance that claim him as their founder.

Hello Diet coke,
Offends me? I wasnt aware of being offended. I never have appreciated jokes made towards people who are crippled/elderly or disadvantaged. Sarah was 95 from memory. Abraham lived many many yrs so I also presume he was a healthy specimen at that time and certainly not ready for a walking frame.
No inner beauty never fades with age.
