If you were immortal...Follow

Immortal as in unaging or immortal as in physically unkillable? And, for that matter, could I take physical damage?

If I leapt into a volcano, would I die, would I be able to swim about or would I be trapped in a semi-conscious agony as my body charred into a husk but my mind remained active?

Either way, in the end I'd probably just sleep alot. There's a reason you find the hoary undead lying about in their tombs for millenia on end.

i mean physically unkillable. immune to everything. A nuclear holocaust would make you the only living being on earth.

There's essentially a problem with being immortal and indistructable.. all of your guts inside become completely benign since you no longer require food, water, air to move on. Therefore nothing goes in, nor goes out. No blood would flow.

How am I supposed to get an erection and plant the immortality seed into billions of women over time if neither of those two things function?

If you could manage to make the system turn on/off, then perhaps I'd be interested. This would be the only way one could manage to say alive without anything killing them (ie. lack of oxygen and ample radiation if travelling in space unprotected). Let alone the biological issues such as virii and bacteria you'd have to be able to expel.

We need more data to form a controlled set of rules that would encompass this immortality to make it a discussion worth having.

Read the Bible, my son. (or the Buddist or Hindu versions)

Everyone knows Immortals can not have children.

But then again, this is Eldy, he's prolly just talking about getting laid. A lot.

If you were immortal, you'd have to keep it extremely secret, because there would be all sorts of people after you. Immortality is fine, but spending it locked in a cell somewhere wouldn't be terribly fun. Now if you were to add super strength to that, then no worries!

Dude, you're immortal. You wouldn't need super strength, you could punch your way out of a steel box given enough time.

Do you have a horse named Fatty Lumpkin and have wild forest orgies with hobbits too?

I plead the 5th, as this is a trap.

The question is, how the heck would they get you in there in the first place. They can't hurt you. When they go to stick you in another box, punch em in the face and walk out, what're they gonna do? Shoot you?

I don't think physics work that way.

I'd pharm my way to 27,500 posts.

Same thing I've been doing for the last 8,000 years, duh!
