What if... there were immortals?

To return to juju's question, I think that a group of immortals would probably form their own society after a while, preferring to live amongst each other than with anyone mortal.

I think they would find that they would have no patience with the fads and fashions that change over what is, to them, a very short period of time. I think what is important to them would be a lot different from what is important to us.

But that changes if you had an immortal life span but a finite memory, or finite ability to recall stored memories, like we all have. 934, I seem to recall that was a pretty rough year. A lot of those decades run together though, I moved into a cave for safety and drank a lot of fermented beet juice. French? I speak a little French, but it's a strange dialect from the renaissance, no help in Quebec in 2003. Hey, you look like my girlfriend from maybe 27 girlfriends ago...
