I see what you did there. Well played, TV Tropes. Well-played.

I know this: if life is illusion, then I am no less an illusion, and being thus, the illusion is real to me. Hide / Show Replies

I don't. Why is this called Merlin Sickness? I don't remember anything about Merlin aging backwards, and there's no mythology section, anyway. It's 'avoided' in the TV program Merlin. Why is this called this? Am I being thick?

Your thinking of the wrong Merlin.

And for those of you that don't see the easter egg, the folders are in reverse order.

Rename it to Ages Backwards?

Reverse Aging?

I think Merlin Sickness is a bit too obscure for most people.

It's from TH White's books on the Arthur cycle.

I made the same joke with the laconic page. Should I move the examples banner to the bottom?

Eleven years later, and it still has this confusing title. I agree with renaming it to “Ages Backwards.”

Trying to find the author and title of a science fiction story in which a weed called temp is banned because who eats it will know everything that will happen from that time to the person's death—and also changes the past by having known their entire future since their birth. The government seizes people who have eaten this illegal weed in order to extract their knowledge, under torture if necessary.

Do NOT make this article Self-Demonstrating. That's really annoying. If you want a version that is, put it in the proper namespace.

Can I cut The Stinger and get it off the Self-Demonstrating Index then?

"In Charlie And The Great Glass Elevator, one of Charlie's aunts eats candy that increases lifespan by retconning your birthdate back a few years. So she remembers being present at the news of the Titanic's sinking, then Lincoln being shot..."

1) It was his grandmother. 2) It was a lot more complicated than that. Edited appropriately.
