Beat me to it. I was thinking, "they're immortal until they're the theme ingredient!" Nice Kaga pic.

Ping to grampadave for humor value.

Ping to patrickhenry for his evolution pinglist.

Ping to myself out of pure narcissism.

The evidence suggests that a 100-year-old red sea urchin is just as apt to live another year, or reproduce, as a 10-year-old sea urchin.

Ooh, memoryless life expectancy. Like a light bulb, or a refrigerator. I like, I like!
