In "Porgy & Bess", the musical written by the Gershwin brothers, the character "Sportin' Life" sings 'It Ain't Necessarily So'. The song is filled with dry humor about how aging affects one's .....ahhhh.......romantic ......life with the clear implication that Sportin' Life himself is still rarin' to go.
Turns out Ira Gershwin's lyric was dead-on.
Scientists revived a “zombie worm” that had been frozen for 24,000 years in one of the most forbidding environments in the world. The “zombie worm” has been frozen deep within Siberian permafrost since the Late Pleistocene, the final epoch of the Ice Age....
....This one immediately started reproducing.
They should name him Sportin' Life.
