On Nematodes

The 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.

So, it may be.... only 1mm long, but... its a roundworm... and that's cool.
