Here's a good Internet equivalent of a "man-(and woman)-in-the-street interview"--a compendium of Freeper responses to the article in the Toledo Blade about Ray Kurzweil and life extension.

The interesting thing to me will be the responses when (as one commenter put it) "a mouse lives ten years."

And to think that I just read Aesop's fables the other day. If I don't live to see 1,000, then it's for the best. Those grapes were obviously spoiled anyway. ;-)

I wonder what Aesop would have done if he had just lived a few thousand more years...
