cientists in the United States have discovered a gene that can keep mice alive for 30% longer than normal.

Is there really a need for this, why would anyone want to stay longer than they are supposed to?

To annoy people by driving 15 under the posted limit, paying for everything with pennies and coupons and hitting young people with my cane.

I heard this this morning. They did say that it slows aging so you can work till your 80.
