: On CNN there's an article on a gene they found in fruit flys (that also exists in people) that doubles the life span:
: The long-life gene was named for a comical line -- "I'm not dead yet" -- from a Monty Python movie, Helfand said. The gene's name was suggested by co-author Robert A. Reenan and has been shortened to "Indy."
: Maybe this is why Indy survived to his 90's and beyond? :)
