News stories about science being on the verge of defeating old age and death have been on Drudge and other web sites lately. One headline claimed 1,000 year lifetimes. One article was about scientists having found a gene that could possibly allow human cells to renew themselves through perfect (without errors) DNA replication for virtually forever.
The trouble with living forever is that progressives might find an appreciation for the second amendment and shoot your ass. Do you really think they're going to tolerate you exhaling an interminable amount of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere?
But, do not fear because warp drive is here. NASA, it seems, has serendipitously stumbled upon faster-than-light travel. While working on an electromagnetic drive rocket engine, faster than light speeds have been detected. If these preliminary results are true, then travel to earth-like exoplanets in other stellar systems would become a possibility.
If either of the above stories about living for 1,000 years or NASA discovering a warp drive engine turn out to be true, then I'll eat Peanut the turtle who is claimed to have been disfigured during its growth by a coke ring.
"Now, now Peanut. I'm not going to eat you. I'm going to kiss you right after I hug some polar bears."
