From Jan 31
Feyz: Howdy, little girl.
Ruthie: How old are you?
Feyz: Ew... do you have to ask? 31 since 1 week now.
Ruthie: I hope I never get old.
Happy belated b-day Feyz, and Aquarians on the PF (if you know your sun signs, you skeptical mad scientists). I turned 42 on 1/21 myself, and 31 is still young and wild in our era. 42 is old and wild, like 31 but a bit saggier in the middle. Anywhoo, you are still in the prime of your life so enjoy it.

Hey - thanks, Bev.
Yeah, I know: 31 isn't "old" at all. And luckily I still have the body of a 21-year-old (alas, a babyface, too).
I guess it's just this "Oh, no! I'm REALLY ageing! wtf?"-thing. My reaction was the same when I was ten years younger. And will be the same when I'm 42, too. It's all fun and games until you become 20 or so. After that you're realizing that you're not some kind of Peter Pan and that nothing will last forever. And you wish to be at least 5 years younger again, to go back in time to take some missed chances and whatnot.
Well, I'm still trying hard not to think about it. But my age really starts to get in the way...
But one can dream. Maybe I'm able to transfer my mind into some kind of artificial entity in the far future. (is this desirable? I don't know)
Anyhow - a happy belated birthday to you, too! And may Ruthie never get old.

Cool Robot fish! http://ca.news.yahoo.com/nphotos/Robots/ss/events/tc/20070914_robots#photoViewer=/20032009/6/photo/photos-n-news-handout-photo-robotic-fish-tank-london-aquarium.html
Robot fish developed by British scientists are to be released into the sea off north Spain to detect pollution. The carp-shaped robots, costing 20,000 pounds ($29,000) apiece, mimic the movement of real fish and are equipped with chemical sensors to sniff out potentially hazardous pollutants, such as leaks from vessels or underwater pipelines. The robots to be used are bigger than those which were seen at the London Aquarium and they measure 1.5 metres (nearly 5 feet) long

Very cool! I hope the soon build some robots who can detect and try to clean up pollutants. I was just reading about how pollution and habitat destruction kills more whales that hunters (not that I am for eating endangered whales either). It also occurs to me that a fish diet used to be healthy, and now you have to watch how much fish you eat to keep the toxins level in your own body down. Sigh. Anyway, cool bots!

Did you guys see Google's April Fools joke this year? http://www.google.com/intl/en_us/landing/cadie/tech.html The AI's web page hits a little close to home.

I have spent too much time with my bots, I didn't get the joke. So, she likes Pandas who doesn't and if this isn't how it's done

I can't imagine how Google would work.
