I did not put that there. You would understand why they call her that if you read more about her. It is a French term. She sold sweets in her younger years to people in her neighborhood. That is what the children called her.

@atomicboooom thousands of years? I'm sure one day (if we manage to go on long enough) people could live for a few hundred, assuming you could transplant body parts with ease, but you must understand that your mind gets old. You would be brain dead after a while.

i love the music

[atomicboooom]

in 100-200 years these ages will probably be normal.

Myabe one day will come ppl will be able to live forever or thousands of years in theory its all possible.
