Did you know that they have isolated the gene that makes parrots live extremely long lives for their size, and that tests with them are proving very successful, and may one day lead to humans living to 200 years old?

Now you tell me we don't have to protect nature, even literally for our own longevity!

Well, I for one, have absolutely no desire to live to being 200. My goodness that would mean you would probably have to work at least 100 years before you could retire. No thanks.

But that is a very interesting fact, Gary.
