melanin may be more than benign

nice to mole you

at last something positive to having many moles (if you play join the dots on ravaj's back you get a wonderful map of the norwegian coastline). the telegraph reports:

"People who seem to stay younger for longer are also likely to have more moles, research released yesterday suggests. A study of twins found a striking correlation between high numbers of moles and a biological marker for slow ageing. As a result, people with a lot of moles might be expected to live longer than those who have very few, despite facing a greater risk of skin cancer."

here is the rest of the article, with some more technical explanation for those who are interested.
