I have actually seen a fuse blow with age.  Especially a fast blow type that
is subject to high turn on transients like a fuse protecting a motor.  As
the transient hits, the fuse is heated up for a brief moment but not enough
to blow.  This crystilizes the fuse link partially actually degrading it's
performance.

Also don't forget the really shitty fuses that lucas used.
