The cypress, the common name for the Cupressaceae family of conifer trees[1].

There’s an Italian cypress (Cupressus sempervirens) which was planted on the grass in front of the Rice Auditorium at Western Oregon University on the same day I was born, June 9, 1989. As seen on Google Street View[2]:

My theory is that I will also die on the same day that this tree dies, which, given the average lifespan of the Italian cypress (50-150 years)[3], places me somewhere between having a fatal accident / medical problem 20 years from now, and living to see if global civilization makes it through the 21st century…

Of course, it could be that the tree and I end up on the outlier end of Italian cypress lifespans like this tree, the Cypress of Abarkuh, which is estimated to be between 4000 and 5000 years old (and probably the second oldest organism in Asia)[4]:

In that case, expect to find me running through the forest selling acorns to the squirrels with my 4000-year-old Square reader and smart phone running Collapse OS in the year 6019.
