I was kinda surprised at that 152 because I seemed to remember reading elsewhere about animals getting up in the 200 range, but I believe that 152 is verified someway (maybe it was a pet, or from a zoo) while the others are just suspected. Not for sure, but it makes since to me.

RC, you'll recognize this as not only "useless", but highly erroneous ...

Quote :

For those that have fired a weapon of any kind, you know if you fired a blank or not ... hint: ... blanks don't "kick", live rounds do ... the real shooters know it ... instantly ...

Bada found that most of the adult whales were between 20 and 60 years old when they died, but five males were much older. One was 91, one was 135, one 159, one 172, and the oldest whale was 211 years old at the time of its death. That whale, alive during the term of President Clinton, was also gliding slowly and gracefully through the Bering, Chukchi and Beaufort seas when Thomas Jefferson was president.

Bada explained that the method of measuring changes in aspartic acid to determine age has an accuracy range of about 16 percent, which means the 211 year-old bowhead could have been from 177 to 245 years old.

To be serious, true, that is true. (but it's finally starting to change) But blame it on a screwed up sexual past, and screwed up sexual education. Seems like every class I had on sex was always with me somewhere else in my mind LMAO. Hence why up until today, I have no idea what menstruation is all about. All I know is a period is the time where you shut the f*** up in front of a woman!
