For some reason this comic comes to mind…

I think this theory has real merit. Case in point: Gollum the Stoor Hobbit. Gollum lived in a cave and as we are all well aware, he experienced unnatural long life. Clearly it was the cave that caused him to maintain his youth and beauty.

Kellen,
If you would have read the previous entry on my blog, you would have seen that the children were left at home which explains why I didn’t think to invite you along. However, the Declaration of Independence to rap music sounds interesting enough so perhaps it was I who missed out.

Kellen, I apologize. I sort of skipped over the part about you writing this post. I’m glad Skuldozer is safe for now.

Missy-
1. I would love to live in cave, but there are very few caves in Bethlehem, PA.
2. Bethlehem,PA is very close to Gettysburg, where you just visited. Why was I not invited on your family vacation? I could have taught your family the history of the battle- like how Viceroy Gunter Van Bostenburg defeated Gorg and the legions of Alpha Centauri in a game of checkers while Abraham Lincoln rapped the Declaration of Independence.

I think Kellen should live in a cave. With no access to computers or phones. Now.

Sylvia, I already have a wife. And no, I will not be using Skuldoser for this experiment because he has not even been made yet.

Are you using your own baby for this experiment? This will make finding a wife a lot easier.

I always thought it was problems with the DNA copying itself that caused aging. But then, I’m a history major, for all I know the secret of aging lies in the incorrect conjugation of some obsucre Indo-European verb.

BTW, this sounds similar to the test that a Roman Emperor had done. He had a pair of baby twins stuck on an island with a mute nanny. Years latter they went and found them to see what language they were speaking. It turned out to be Egyptian, so therefore they decided that Egyptian was the oldest language!

There is a problem, but also an answer from that problem in your theory. Oxygen is an element that may be making us old, therefore, if you place the baby in a cave, you must also make sure that the baby does not have any oxygen to cause it to grow old. This of course will cause the baby to die. So, the theory would be correct, because the baby would remain a baby forever…just no longer alive.
