[OT] Wanna be immortal? (for real)

[Hikaru]

This guy (he's serious) has found a method:

The RINGS OF IMMORTALITY!

So? Do you think he's got the Forge Ring feat?

Mordenkainen relies on longevity potions. I, on pizza. What about YOU?

Mainly on my own fanaticism. But this IS nuttier that I.

Keep the nut jokes on Nutkinland.

The funny thing is that the science is totally awry. The generally accepted cause of aging is free radicals in the atmosphere as a result of respiration. He doesn't even mention them.

Interesting that your link includes an ID tag to recieve a free set of the rings...

Accepted by who? Free radicals are ONE cause of aging, yes (in the body, not the atmosphere), but there are a lot of others.

Free radicals cause the deterioration - telemorose prevents that, however it does wear out. We are genetically programmed to die.

What happens when we fix those issues, I wonder?

Don't Go There

Look carefully at the link:

ttp://www.alexchiu.com/affiliates/clickthru.cgi?id=Hikaru

See that? Hikaru's an affiliate making money off of people clicking through it.

Not that there's anything wrong with that -- other than the relatively slimy act of advertising a link when he actually WANTS you to go there so he can make money off of it.

Sort of like porn emails labeled, "About our lunch" -- deceptive advertising.

Tsk tsk.

They laughed at Einstein. They laughed at Edison. They laughed at Tesla...

They also laughed at Bozo the Clown.

You guys should check out more info on NanoTech. If immortality interests you, you'll find the prospects fascinating (even those that lie within our lifetime). I also recommend the novel "The First Immortal" by John L. Halperin - a magnificant piece of literature.
