Copy & paste this:


Both a little creepy looking if you ask me.(FIRST)
well, they always said he survived 5 or more attempts on his life…maybe he survived that last one too.
who and who?
Well said. Guy on the right sorta looks like Hagrid from Harry Potter… or is it just me?
Well nevermind, a skinny version of Hagrid at least.
Aubrey de Grey identifies with his aging patients a little too much, I think.
One of my coworkers claims that De Grey is 150 years old*. Now we have PROOF!
*for those of you unfamiliar with the subject, De Grey considers himself an expert on prolonging life and goes around giving talks about it.
Father Gregory Rumpelstiltskin?
***Grigori
Totally looks like Alan Moore…
I totally thought that too. Maybe they’re all the same person. It would explain a lot.
Rasputin was responsible for the deaths of the Romanovs. Not cool, man. Of course, it was Tsarina Alexandra’s fault for consulting him in the first place, but still.
Huh? Her fault for CONSULTING him? Um, okay.
Gee, if a crooked auto repair shop rips you off, I’ll just say it’s your fault for “consulting” them. Sheesh!
Times were different then, and less were inclined for such devastation. I believe there was a tremendous force at hand, behind Ras. Poweful evil, taunting the hiearchy at its time to show off it’s horsepower. Sadly, that evil lives after the body and finds another. Sometimes I wonder if I don’t live with Ras’ reincarnation. That’s why I have this to say.
I have to take my car to the dealership to get it repaired. The same guy works on it every time.
Grigori.
And I’m not sure he was a “Father”. I mean, yeah he had kid(s?), but I don’t think he was high enough in the church officially to be labeled a “Father”.
I’m not so sure he ranked, either. It was a social climb, and fast. Even insomuchas less political. Almost…spiritual?¿ He was a creepy bastard, and utilized the lefteye/out rightyeye/in soul exchange to near it’s potential. Soul steal sonova whowhat.
Heh heh heh – “ranked” …
Really! I agree!
I don’t know about ANY of that, but I do know that those beards STINK (or STANK, if the dude’s dead) to high heaven! Now THAT is a lesser known FACT about long beards. You’re welcome:)
What are you talking about? Those beards are EPIC!
Naw, they stink. Peee ewwww!
I don’t think those beards were a ‘thing’ at the time, as nothing was for someone ‘hell’bent on such conquest. He probably hardly noticed it until chuck norris time-warped his ‘secret’ third fist into and out of it in 1687. I think that’s where they came up with fist of the North Star.
Really tho, no. There was no ‘who wore what at what self-titled festival of idolatry.’
*peeks at notecard in coat’s inside lining discreetly* Oh, thank you. I didn’t excpect this, uh…*explosive rattling on about such*
ha.
I had lunch with Aubrey once. Too bad I was an idiot.
By which I mean I probably made a poor impression, NOT that I was an idiot for having lunch with him.
If you really did, cool. I doubt you were an idiot. You see, we are all us. Who we are is what line in the grain we chase. You’ll find the truly ‘intelligent’ would hardly think you were an idiot, regardless of where you ‘rank’ mentally’ …In wisdom, we see that all of us are God’s creation, each with a little mojo more here than there. It takes ALL of us to make what mankind is, and even the slightly less ‘intelligent’ are great in their own ways. That’s you, you and even you. Even the guy waiting under your car in your garage for you to leave in the morning so he can slit your achille’s tendon and steal your life. He fits in the wheel. What we do on this ‘wheel’ places us on the final ‘orb’ after all is said and done. Strive, people, to not be the guy waitng in the garage. Thank you.
Aw, that’s so sweet. And so true. I just wish the dude waiting under the car to slit my Achilles’ tendon didn’t have such a big role to play.
Both look like Allan Moore
I just said that the other day, I said “Rasputin looks like Allan Moore don’t you think?
is name was gigori rasputin he was not a father but believed to be a man of god who was believed to heal people but he was actually a womanizing con-man who took advantage of the tsarina and caused the russian autocracy to lose respect among the people.
He had a 13 inch unit (he whipped it out in public once when out drinking) from book Rasputin-Rascal Master by Jane Oakley. Introduction titled Rasputin: Man, Mystic, Messiah, Myth
13 inches?! You could really hurt a woman with that.
Shouldn’t it be the other way around, since Rasputin came first? I believe it’s more fitting to say that Mr. de Gray resembles The Mad Monk. Let’s have some respect for seniority here people!
I gave up.
I think they’re doing it on purpose now!
you gotta remember they both have kick ass beards

Aubrey is equally as awesome as his own beard.
Aubrey is a cool cool man. I wish him all the luck with his longevity experiments and the mouse challenge. Not for entirely selfless reasons, mind you, but I wish him luck none the less.
Can’t believe you kids don’t know who Rasputin is/was. Fail! Back to school!
Actually, he’s Grigori =)
yea i already said that beeep!
Rasputin took advantage of the fact that Tsar Nicoholas II’s youngest child and only son, Alexis, had haemophilia (passed down from Alexandra, formerly Princess Alix of Hesse, granddaughter of Queen Victoria). Rasputin was somehow able to ease and stop the Tsarvich’s hemoraging, which ingratiated him to the Tsarina and Tsar.
Rasputin was a member of a Christan sect that believed that the more you sinned, the more you received God’s grace, so you should sin as much as possible. His favorite sin was adultery. Allegedly, as an adolescent, he had sex with every young woman in his native Siberian village except for his wife, who wouldn’t have sex with him unless he married her first. He was a healer and fancied himself a prophet. He once said that if he died peacefully, the Romanov family had nothing to worry about, but if he died violently (i.e. murdered), they would all be killed as well. It was scandalous that the Tsarina knew this man. They kept the hemophilia a secret, so the people did not know that she had a legitimate reason for associating with this notorious womanizer. The rumors that ensued did contribute the the process of their ousting from power and subsequent assassination. End history lesson.
are we completely sure that this isn’t the same person…?
man, they could be twins!
Yeah-he totally looks like him, doesn’t he? Cute and wise, imo.
Here’s his TED Talk on youtube on this issue:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8iYpxRXlboQ. In it he outlines why it’s technically feasible, there’s a 50% of radical life extension happening in our lifetimes, and why we should be more proactive in promoting it, because even if the chance was small, the utility of it compels us to at least try to be more proactive in scientifically doing more research on it.
did you know that Aubrey de Grey later became Aubrey de White? LOTR!
Ineterestin comparisons…
