[QUOTE="Heinrich Hundekok, post: 20634, member: 354"] [b]Re: 1000 years old?[/b] Live for a 1000 years? Why, cool. I can see the picture, some 30 years in the future from now... A new drug for sale - very expensive, but once you've bought it you've got plenty of time to pay back that tiny bit of money.
