I found an interesting site, it claims to have found the key to stop ageing. My initial thoughts on this were one of cautious restraint. I am a sceptic, and still do not believe this is the “fool proof” method of ageing. However if it did work, would I be prepared to stop ageing, would it be worth it? to live forever, or even live twice the average lifespan, to see the world, learn so many things. My question to others is : Do you think you would want to live forever? would you choose to be immortal? Or do you think that this is defying nature, our bodies are merely physical shells, to live forever is to be restricted. http://www.alexchiu.com/

[I just deleted the affiliate info for now; this is spam, but it is amusing enough that I’ll let the link stay. Since the people posting apparently really are affiliates, I suspect they will stop posting the link if they don’t get any click-through cash. But y’all can continue to make fun of the site without lining chacma-the-affiliate-partner’s pockets now. Chacma, DO NOT POST SPAM EVER AGAIN. And once is quite enough for this link in GD; I’ll delete any others.–Gaudere]
I always figured this Chiu guy was just another crackpot. Granted, the internet makes it possible for every hawker of pseudo-mystical geegaws to easily reach a buying public who perviously had to slog through the first 40 pages of the Weekly World News before they could find the ad telling them how to shell out $20 for a pendant containing water from the miraculous springs of Lourdes. But even your average Juno.commer, even your typical AOL’er, hell, even your garden-variety WebTV-ite isn’t dumb enough to believe that the retarded little brother of Curtis from Big Brother stumbled onto the secret of the Holy Grail in the plumbing department of Home Depot.
And yet this guy appears to be pushing enough “Eternal Life Toe Rings” to be able to afford an affiliate program? Great leaping Buddah on a tumbling pass, something is seriously wrong here. Even if this dolt is paying sub-dolts like chacma a penny for every hundred clicks, he still can’t be turning a profit on it, can he? Even if he hired an army of chacma’s and herded the entire population of the internet through his disassociative, poorly reasoned, badly-animated, Dr. Bronner-wannabe site, there’s probably only one putz in 6 billion dumb enough to believe this nonsense, and unfortunately, it’s Alex. Where, dear Liza, dear Liza, dear Liza is the return on the investment for him?
I guess you don’t believe in reincarnation. I’m not so sure. But would I want to live forever as me, barbitu8? The answer is No. I’m getting tired of living now, especially when I read all this crap on the Internet.
Yep, this is the third schmuck that’s posted a clickthru link to good old Alex’s Magic Magnets. It’s my fault tho’. I suggested a Weird Earl link featuring Alex’s home page. I don’t believe this is the same spammer though; the IP#'s are from widely separated locations. The one for the guy at the top of this page goes to an ISP in Australia. The other’s are U.S. based.
Well, I’ve only met a few people who were more than a few hundred years old, and they seemed happy enough. And I’m rather certain they weren’t using any magic magnets.
(well, no, but how do you prove how old you are? A piece of paper?)
I would never want to live forever. It probably gets old after the first few hundred years. Staying in one life for a really long time isn;t my idea of fun.
immortality - - it would be a nice option to have, but you may want a terminate-at-will clause because it will get really boring after the heat death of the universe.
Alex Chiu’s immortality is nowhere near as impressive as his $20 time machine. Unfortunately the time machine seems to have disappeared from his site… the best I could find was teleportation.
