Old

I have been very busy lately, as you might have noticed. MultiMediMania and general University stuff. Anyway, today i read the paper when i saw this picture below:

This is actually a picture of a clam. Nice huh? Anyway(for the second time), this kinda clam are known to become very, veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery old. Now, last year some scientist's found a clam 80m beneath the water at the north coast of Island. A clam like the one you see at the picture. Still pretty right? Anyway(for the third time), they discovered that the clam was no less then 405 years old.Very big number.

Now, these scientists, who one should think are are a nice bunch of humans, what do they do with the worlds OLDEST LIVING "thing"? Well, they kill it!!! They kill the clam to get information about how the sea have changed, the last 100 years. How nice isnt that?

I wonder who came up with the idea to go to Island, find a clam 80m beneath water, 405 years old and end its life?
