Scientists just named the longest-living species of vertebrate animal. It's a creature that can live up to 400 years old, almost twice the lifespan of the oldest giant tortoises or bowhead whales, nature's next runners-up. These lords of longevity are the Greenland sharks, Somniosus microcephalus.
Although the Greenland sharks are not a newfound species, their absurdly long lifespan has only now been discovered. Julius Nielsen, a marine biologist at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark, and a team of fellow researchers have found that the mysterious sharks don't even reach maturity until 150 years. The slow-swimming sharks are endemic to the cold polar waters of the north Atlantic and Arctic oceans and can grow up to 17 feet in length. The scientists describe how they discovered the Greenland sharks' lifespan today in the journal Science.
"We were blown away by the lifespan of these sharks," says Peter Bushnell, a biologist with the team at Indiana University, South Bend. "Frankly, we sort of looked at this at first and asked ourselves, OK, so where did we go wrong?"

Looks like Wes has some competition after all.

Saw this on BBC the other day. It can be as old as 517 or some shit like that or as young as 236. Either way, it's old. There's a clam that's older that 500 years, and Wes probably had his dick in that nasty clam.

I bet you were slightly let down when you typed in BBC, and a news site popped up. :D
Isn't it amazing how little science can know sometimes? They just found out that this shark can live to be 400-500 years old. That is astonishing.
Lends credence to some of the legends of mythical beasts roaming the seas. How many generations would be able to tell stories of a creature who could live to be 500?

Become a 'sleeping pinhead' so you'll require almost no energy to keep going, then slow down even further by living in ice cold water.

This news is at least 150 years old. These sharks end up blind most of lived because parasites eat their eyes.

Nah, this is actually a legit thread. Same as the 10 Trump and Hillary threads, and the "which black person got shot in the back today" threads.
I just figured I would mix it up a bit. :D

Good news, now we must figure out what that shark eats.. so we can all live 400+ years 8)

240, do you think 100 years is a fair deal, or do you think that is kind of fucked up?
Personally I have been really obsessing over the apparent unfairness of a 75 year life.
Give me 200-500 years or you know, otherwise I don't get enough time to figure this all out. What's the point if there is not enough time to square the circle?

Oh God he's back...

Boring nerd shit, didn't read

Keith Richards gave the shark advice on how to keep living.

I have to wonder what it's like to be inside the brain of a 102-year old person.
Is the gray matter so degraded that you're just watching QSC and pooping yourself all day, while crying about lost loved ones?
Old people seemed so sad all the time when I was a little kid. I don't interact with too many these days.

earlier this week (trying to quit caffeine completely), I totally just mind fart'd a guitar part onstage. Just didn't play for a measure when I was featured. The entire band stopped and looked at me. The younger musicians were annoyed. The older ones smiled and nodded in approval as I had my first senior moment.

Did you have your concealed weapon?

Apparently, it is his brain that is concealed.
-

it would have done no good. I just completely stopped playing and looked around for a visual cue. Nothin'.
Also I had to pee during the set, which never happens... but without caffeine, I'm drinking water nonstop and actually staying hydrated. Strong as shit in the gym. Bigger fuller muscles. Ah i do miss that caffeine buzz. I go thru the day with no buzz.
