This explains some folks being eternally immature.

But I LIKE big gravity waves. :(

It is an analog replacement system, subject to external influences and distortion. I am looking like a 7th generation photocopy of myself; rough and fuzzy around the once sharp edges with random blotches and some of the finer details fading away.

Nine? That’s not what my mirror tells me. (I hear ya, @PoodleGroomer; I hear ya.)

Don’t worry, Carl Sagan’s got this… aw crap, he’s dead!

Don’t worry, Stephen Hawking’s got this… aw crap, he’s dead!

Don’t worry, Neil DeGrasse Tyson’s got this… aw crap, he did some weirdo handshake!

Don’t worry, Donald Tr… awwwwwww, craaaaaaaaap!!!

I’ve read that the cell replacement cycle is about seven years. I blame those big gravity waves.

Ninnyhammers? NINNYHAMMERS?!? Does Opus read Georgette Heyer? P.S. GREAT last panel, btw. . .

The problem is each cell replace is a slightly less perfect copy of the one before it.

Love the Carl Sagan portrait. Remember…those billyuns and billyuns of cells are made of star stufffffffff…

Why do my new cells look so old?

Now this one’s going up on a lot of cubical walls today.

I wish.

Not true – bones aren’t replaced, they stay the same, older every day. Which is why my bones ache more and more these days!

Locusts also replace their cells……….

You want good news from scientists?

University of South Florida conducted a preliminary test on a NON-INVASIVE device to help slow or even reverse Alzheimer’s Disease. Yesterday, I read about this.

They had 8 volunteers for a (I think) 4 month trial. Out of the 8, 7 had noticeable improvement – not just ‘not getting worse’, actual IMPROVEMENT. They volunteered for the next step in the study.

I’m not a doctor, I almost flunked biology, but Alzheimer’s runs in my family.

GO SCIENCE!!!!

Know how you make a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy and it never looks as good as the original? That’s why.

Wahoo! I just tuned 10!

Which means we are continually consuming energy and generating carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas.

There’s probably a logical flaw in that. But, hey, enjoy while you can!

Except that more and more replacement cells are defective and over time it builds up.

Only most of your cells are replaced, nerve and bone cells are not replaced. Also as you grow older, the number of cells replaced drops.
