<< and there hasnt been a scientific explanation why things get old and cells stop regenerating after certain time. >>


Actually there has been a explanation offered, which seems to be correct but is not for certain yet. If I remember correctly, on the ends of chromosomes are sections called telomeres, which &quot;protect&quot; the DNA. As cells divide these telomeres get shorter and shorter over time. When the telomeres are gone, poof, the cell is kaput.

I'm not exactly a morning :disgust: person , so i wake up in the afternoons on weekends and during vacation time usually 3am - 12-1pm.

4-5hrs of sleep during the night on school nites :( but i make up for it by sleeping w/ my eyes open through english, math, and history :)
