Re: Scientists Find Oldest Living Animal, Then Kill It

We have a winner! How correct you are. But isn't awsome to think that that clam started it's life around the time Shakespeare was alive. It was even around when Galileo Galilei was around. During this period Galileo made significant discoveries in both pure science (for example, kinematics of motion, and astronomy) and applied science (for example, strength of materials, improvement of the telescope). This just blows my mind. How COOL!!
