That's *exactly* why my son likes them. I have to confess that it's
quite amusing watching him bounce up and down with his plastic guitar
howling "I've been to the year three thousand" though. Maybe he'll
grow out of it when he's five...

Lets hope he lives a long time - remember that if he lives those extra
two thousand years he gets to meet his great granddaughter.

makes you weep...

great great great granddaughter, and it's only a thousand years, so that's a
nice, believable 200-250 years per generation, not the far fetched 700 years
you just made out....

Yeah, and we're just *bound* to have evolved gills by then, it stands to
reason. Shoot them on sight, I say, and bring back The Birdie Song.

On the other hand...
