Penn and Teller get to the bottom of the so-called fountain of youth. hide show
I didn't particularly like this episode simply because i'm bored with the whole fountain of youth thing but i still think this was well written. It'll never get old when they interview people who are so far gone and are not connected to the real world like the woman who had around 100 grand in surgery. She said that she will always look 10 years younger than she really is. Just looking at her you can tell she if fake looking. Why would you do such a stupid thing? Lets not forget the idiot who decided that maiming yourself by castration was a good idea. Or the guy who at the age of 35 is suffering form ostioperosis because he only eats greens that he grows. STUPID!
