Guest guest Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 Fact of the DayThe nematode Caenorhabditis elegans ages the equivalent of 5 human years for every day they live, usually expiring after 14 days. However, when stressed, the worm goes into a state of suspended animation that can last for 2 months or more. The human equivalent would be to sleep for about 200 years.
