Good, Ferret;-
        If there is no limit to life other than predation, there must be a few
individuals out there in their thousands of years. We know that desert
tortoises live close to 200, maybe Galapagans as well. I heard that carp
will grow almost forever. Redwoods can live till they fall over, as much
as 3000 years. the 21st century may offer us a way to put all this
together. Hope you and me are still here dining on Carp brains and
Sequoia slivers----covered with Cool-Whip, of course.
