Ep. 104 What If Your Entire Life Was Only 24 Hours Long?

This episode is coming out just in time for Halloween, and the only thing that is scarier than getting old is getting aging as an accelerated rate.  This week, we use the M. Night Shyamalan movie “Old” as the template for our discussion about animals that live an extremely short time, including the mayfly, which famously only lives one day.  We also apply those principles to human life, and discuss what we would do with our only 24 hours.  We even get into pocket dimensions, puberty in 9 mins, The Benny Hill Show, and the powerful effects of a Rust Monster.
