Extend my telomeres damnit!

First, all my exams apart from music are finished - and I got pwned in Maths Extension :(

On to the title - in my typical MSN discussions Xachro and I broke onto an interesting topic - Obfuscating Python - and we were doing pretty well. It eventually lead to a small discussion on DNA - specifically on that thing with the really really cool name that had to do with gibberish at the end of DNA so as to act as a disposable buffer for the lossy replication of DNA (to say the least)...

After a bit of Googling I came up with it! Telomere ftw! So of course I revised myself on it, as any good nerd would, and came across -
However, it has been hypothesized that there is a trade-off between cancerous tumor suppression and tissue repair capacity, and that by lengthening telomeres we might slow aging and in exchange increase vulnerability to cancer (Weinstein and Ciszek, 2002).

So, it's ridiculously simple what must be done now!
1) Cure cancer
2) PROFIT
3) Extend telomere - end aging
4) PROFIT

As you see, my plan does not fail where others have tread. Unlike other worthy adversaries, such as the Underpants Gnomes, whose fatal flaw was not properly defining their steps.

That is all for now.
