Nothing is forever...not even the universe. What the hell are you going to do once all mortal life is extinguished?

That was a nice try Archangel, clever.

You could cause yourself brain damage, so your immortal body would live on, but you wouldn't have to experience the agony of it. Unfortunately your soul wouldn't ever rest either, if you believe in that sort of thing.
I can't see youtube clips. What is it?
“For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?”

I hear those are the hardest material in the world, and that nothing can break them. They'd definitely survive as long as any immortal person.

What's the half life of a diamond again, I can't remember, my chemistry teacher would be so disappointed.

@Animaniax - refer to BOC's posts on diamonds on the bitching thread for details on the difference between the toughness and hardness of diamonds. Well, wiki works too.
Peace.
I know man, I was kidding in reference to BoC's post.
@Abdula: diamonds have a half-life? I thought that property only applied to elements?

If this now turns into a physics class i'm gonna kick your ass ani. What's with your weird ability to transform every thread into a shadow of their former selves?? I still remember how the Goofiest Reps suddenly turned into a race debate about the superiority of the asian people xD
I failed out of physics twice when I went to university the first time. I think it was a mental block. Why oh why did they require biology majors to take physics?
Half-lives pertain to chemistry anyway, not physics.

Meh, I was going to do chemistry, physics and biology. God I wish I could go back to school

It's not impossible. Just have to make some sacrifices. Maybe making your best friend dead will help your wish come true.

Maybe but like I said before I would have get a best friend first. I think you're suitable for the role if you're willing that is, if not I'll just have to settle for Xan and kill him instead.

Well my version of immortal was basicly that you regenerate all wounds so brain damage would be impossible. But i guess there is many different versions and views. No matter. I would take it regardless.
But if your body don't regenerate you could get killed by being burned. Unless you would live on as ash. So to me i would regenerate no matter what damage was inflicted. Even if i was reduced to atoms i would just reassemble myself.
What about this? What about this!What if I were to capture you and make you my guinea pig and swear an oath that for as long as a member of my family walks the earth we will hunt you down and torture you. Lock you up in a dungeon without any sunlight, and because there is no risk of you dying, we wouldn't even have to feed you or give you water. Then we could take our time and torture you, pull out your fingernails, peal off your skin, burn you alive, remove some organs etc etc. I'm sure in a situation like that you'd wish that you could die, coward.

@archangel, ani, and abdula. Those were all very funny posts (archangel with the youtube clip, ani with the killing your best friend, and abdula with the "needing a best friend first, ani being suitable for the job").
I do believe that half-lives only pertain to elemental isotopes, such as carbon 14 and so forth. However, I could be severely mistaken.
@abdula: You are the reason why I do not drink from the fountain of youth. Hehe.
The term half-life is used do describe the rate at which things are broken down or removed. I can be used to describe anything in that regard. By definition, it is the time it takes for half (of the mass) of the matter to be removed. It's commonly used to describe the rate of decay of radioactive materials and the rate of elimination of a drug in the body, to give some examples.
If immortality means I can't die, screw it, it's a curse. If it simply means I won't age, then I'll take it
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
It's not something I would kill any of my best friends for, but I think Immortality would be pretty bitchin. Provided of course that I could end it whenever I wanted to, as shinta|hikari mentioned.
That kinda potential is exciting to me. Also the thought that I only have a limited time in my life is also pretty motivating, considering the things I would want to accomplish given immortality.
<@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs
Well if you leave the object inside the brain, it could not regenerate to the point where it would be functional. If there's an axe blade jammed between the lobes of your brain, no matter how much it regenerated, your brain wouldn't work right.
