I've been watching old science fiction films recently. The Red Planet. This Planet Earth, Forbidden Planet, The Thing from another Planet. Anyway. There's good guys, usually humans. Then there's bad guys, usually whatever's from the different planet. Sometimes it flip flops, but you get the gist. The Bad guys always have some wildly ambitious scheme, which can only be accomplished through the subjugation or destruction of people. Often the baddies want to rule the world. But even more often the baddies want to live forever.

That's right. life everlasting seems to be a more villainous goal in fiction than world domination. Go all the way back to Dracula, or fuck, even Icarus. Dudes who want to live forever never meet pretty ends. My first encounter with such "evil" was in the feature length version of duck tales, where huey, duey, and louie stop a tyrannical bassett hound from drinking an elixir that grants everlasting life. Even in the video games I play, the most treacherous demon-warshipping sorceri dabble in evil arts so that they may live forever.

Well balls. What's so bad about wanting everlasting life? I say screw mythology. Let's see some fiction where the good guy wants to live forever.

A perfect way to start on the journey of life everlasting is by gaining abs on a high fat diet. Then head on over to these two posts about orac value and how to deal with stress respectively. It may not be the fountain of youth, I would call it more of a drinking fountain of healthiness.
