Well, I theoretically could if I live to 116 (or very close to it). I was born in 1985, so if I make it to 2100 (or 2101, if you're one of those people who stubbornly insist on starting the century on the 01, which is übersuck)I will have lived in three centuries. I think the maximum human lifespan is around 120, so I'd be cutting it close. The people in my family tend to live long, though. My dad's dad's mom is in her late nineties, and she has a sister or two in their nineties as well. Although of course they're not 120. Yet.
