    nutcase wants to be immortal

    I want to see this guy get hit by a bus.
    Inventor preserves self to witness immortality

    WELLESLEY, Massachusetts (AP) -- Ray Kurzweil doesn't tailgate. A man who plans to live forever doesn't take chances with his health on the highway, or anywhere else.

    As part of his daily routine, Kurzweil ingests 250 supplements, eight to 10 glasses of alkaline water and 10 cups of green tea. He also periodically tracks 40 to 50 fitness indicators, down to his "tactile sensitivity." Adjustments are made as needed.

    "I do actually fine-tune my programming," he said.

    The inventor and computer scientist is serious about his health because if it fails him he might not live long enough to see humanity achieve immortality, a seismic development he predicts in his new book is no more than 20 years away.

    It's a blink of an eye in history, but long enough for the 56-year-old Kurzweil to pay close heed to his fitness. He urges others to do the same in "Fantastic Voyage: Live Long Enough to Live Forever."

    20 years away? Whew, I was worried there for a second I might actually die one day!

              I could see what he says happening someday, assuming we don't blow ourselves up first.

                Doubtful. I think if it became available, governments would step in and regulate it or the price would be to ridiculous for most normal people to pay. Even if this guy lives long enough to see it happen, it ain't gonna happen to him unless he himself invents it.

                  What's the point of life if you just eat vitamin pills all day?

                        Well fine then, eat your carbon based sustinance and your hydrogen based liquids. See if you even make it into AD 3000

                          I think he's having his mid-life crisis.
