Yoda The Mouse Turns 4
ChiralSoftware writes "Through some genetic engineering to reduce insulin output, Yoda the mouse has lived to over four years old, equivalent to 136 human years. Yoda is a third smaller than normal, and gets cold all the time so he must snuggle up with Princess Leia, his cage-mate, but he is alive and full of vigor at the ripe old age of 4. Who's next for insulin reduction?"
He hasn't yet clarified his statement, but I took it to mean the number of people living past 90, not their actual age. Still an exaggeration, of course, but orders of magnitude less of one ;-)
