He's not a carbon-based life form.

Non-carbon based? Was he converted into plastic or stone?

Probably a side effect of experimenting with the dark side of the force... ermmm, food. That's it: dark food.

it's Telltale's way of saying: he has a birthday but we don't want to reveal his past because we just don't want to

A more logical reason is that he is ancient, predating any elevator area except hte beginning of time, and there is really no point in going that far back in time. He was an old geezer when S+M were jsut cubs...

The time-loop would mean Stinky has no age, though (Rendering the carbon-dater useless), since he would be creating himself (Over and over . . . eugh, those pesky impossible time travel chicken-and-egg loops. Also, it's gross). Crap, though, you got me on the "birthday", I shouldn't have said that (Wasn't thinking of "day of birth", but of "day he started existing"). You're quite right.

Is there no way to avoid these pesky time paradoxes.
