The other day Will and I had a interesting conversation at the dinner table. It all began with three birthday cupcakes for Hannah, each with one candle. Will hypothesized that what if your age depended entirely on how many candles you blew out on your birthday every year? For example I am 23, but if on my next birthday I choose to only blow out 23 candles I would still be only 23...see where I'm going with this? Basically you could live forever! I could keep on blowing out only 23 candles on my birthday, year after year after year, forever 23.
Now, ponder this: what if you chose to blow out zero candles? Would you die? And in that case I speculated that it would simply turn into a method for killing someone. Stop them from blowing out their birthday candles and they would die. OR force them to blow out a few hundred candles and they would instantly age to an impossible age. But if this whole candle business was legit maybe you COULD age to an impossible age? Hypothetically someone could live for 300 years and still "only be" 23...correct?
And to top it all off you could be "23" years old but with the wisdom of 300 years.
Fascinating.
In other news, guess who made it to round 3? THE CANUCKS! WOOOOOOT!!!
and oh yes.....
Happy Birthday Hannah! <3
