Nice Job.

Researchers have found the longest lived animal on earth.  Its a Quahog clam that has lived through 405 years of history.  It died upon capture.  Nice, you found the world's oldest animal and promptly killed it.  That's gotta make your day.  "There's probably many others that are actually quite older—we just haven't found them yet," [oh god I hope there are]  Adding a very scientific "I think in my stomach if you start getting up around 600, then maybe that would be the maximum—but that's just pure speculation,"  Have you been talking to Stephen Colbert?  I know I just discovered and destroyed the worlds oldest animal, but my gut tells me there are lots more where that came from.  My gut also tells me they're delicious.
