Faries

[philandlil]

What is the life expectancy of faries?

[jofish]

It depends greatly on their diet or if they're heavy smokers.

They only die when you stop believing in them. Ask Peter Pan.

Rather depends on what you mean by 'faries', doesn't it?

[jonarizmendi]

This is the funniest question I have read so far!!

I think they expect to live in Brighton with high-quality furnishing.

i mean the small fictional flying, wish granting type of fairy. i was planning on writing a childrens book on them and was wondering how many generations i would need to create and as some people actually believe they exist i thought there may be a general rule as to their life expectancy.

I don't think those ones do a lot of reproducing, so it's sort of as if they live forever. Peter Pan is the only place I can think of where they might die (but don't)

[atoach]

Yes, they're immortal. It must be so; it says so here ...

They wouldn't live long in our garden - our cats kill anything that moves
