Aww, Deb, I don't care about me...my days are almost over--pushin' 60, but I worry 'bout my grandkids and the world we're leavin' them, ya know?

without all their well known exciting higher functions, can achieve the
dream of millions and become a child again.  When adverse environmental
conditions threaten death it can collapse into a rugged blob of cells
to survive.  When it re-emerges, it does so as a child - literally
building itself up all over again.  Since this isn't just a shell to
hide in, but a complete structural restart, it seems possible that it
could keep this up forever.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.dailygalaxy.com/my_weblog/2008/06/immortal-invade.html">the hardy hitchhiker has spread
all over the globe.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/F61CD1FD-3462-4585-9EC0-6AB30F334A5F/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
