This isnt devoted to science. This is devoted to SCIENCE! Although this thread is lacking a bit in that section, I don't think anyone even mentioned zombies, lasers, or murderous robots.
Edit: Build a robot that shoots lasers that zombify people.
Or, build a zombie that shoots robots that lasers people!
"Dr. John Cohausen wrote a book in 1743 "proving" that one could live to be 115 years old by inhaling the breath of little girls. In his book, Hermippus Redivivus, Dr. Cohausen gave the following prescription: take 1 pound of gum olibani, 2 ounces of styrae, myrrh, and several other herbs, mix, burn, and inhale while at the same time imbibing the exhalations of the nearest little girl."
I was wondering about that myself. The paper was written in 1743 when the life expectancy was real low, was a 13 year old still considered a little girl, or was it more like 6?
Grabbing little girls near you can have a pretty profound effect on your life, especially if you are an older man. I'm no so sure it has anything to do with your life span though.

The book can be found here.
The project is, of course, to discover why it stops working at age 115.
Why don't you have a seat over there?
