If you've hoped for a longer life, there's reason to hope. But there's a down side. The Old Dogs ramble about what some of the consequences might be. We also offer news about the decline of cursive writing, the dangers of putting an octopus on your face, using butter as a sculpting medium, how to work your way out of causing offense, and the demise of Minnie Mouse. The Old Dogs also interview Dick Smith - entertainer, ad man, late-life painter, still going strong in his eighties.
