If you are neither Highlander, vampire, nor resident of Mount Olympus, you’ve had to get used to the idea that you will one day be pushing up daisies.
David Copperfield would like to change your mind. Announced yesterday, Copperfield’s latest magical discovery is…the Fountain of Youth. No wonder his skin is so baby smooth:
Copperfield, 49, told Reuters that the magical healing waters of yore are actually located in the Exuma archipelago, a chain of four small islands in the Bahamas that he just so happened to have purchased recently for $65 million.
“I’ve discovered a true phenomenon,” Copperfield told the wire service. “You can take dead leaves, they come in contact with the water, they become full of life again…Bugs or insects that are near death, come in contact with the water, they’ll fly away. It’s an amazing thing, very, very exciting.”
Even more amazing and exciting is the fact that, for a mere $392,000 per week (times ten if you want to drink the water…), you can check into Copperfield’s new “private retreat” on Musha Cay, one of the islands in the archipelago. Small price to pay for a chance (however small) at eternal life, right?
So, start saving your pennies…and we’ll see you in the next millennium.
