"From the age of thirty, humans gradually begin to shrink in size." I guess this explains the "sinking" feeling I get every-once-in-a-while. I wasn't sinking I wash shrinking, it's just one more thing I have to blame on gravity. If it is gravity that shrinks us and not staying in the water too much. Maybe it's the climate, but than if everyone shrinks it can't be the climate because people in the colder climates would shrink.

I suspect the shrinking has to do with Mother Nature. She's probably been pissed with the human race ever since the discovery of fire. I'm sure the first person to use fire probably burned a forest down. Of course, it could have been a child that discovered fire. Some children are always playing with matches, so it's possible that some kid found out how to start a fire and burned the forest down.

I wonder if shrinking explains the wrinkles, because if your bones shrink and not your skin you're going to get wrinkles. Once the wrinkles start appearing people seem to get upset because they think they're getting old. Apparently, the problem is not getting old, but shrinking.
