Model Forum / General / Models / June 2006OT, but for the history buff in all of us: 176yr old tortoise passes away.
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,200831,00.html And I was impressed to learn the 1930's Tarzan's Cheetah was still alive a few months ago! Now this is pretty wild. Imagine all of the history that has passed by during this critter's life time. He was in his 60s I suppose when Wilbur and Orville were tearing up the beaches of Kitty Hawk... about 30 when Lincoln stopped a bullet from Booth's pistol... Hell who was President when this thing was born? Tyler? Harrison? Incredible - especially when I think of when I was a kid and how many turtles I flushed from their plastic palm paradises after just a week or two.

Did you never drink enough at least once in college to be in a semi-vegetative state? Actually this past February I though I was, among other things, a plant for some unguessable amount of time, but 105 degree fevers for two and half days tend make you seriously hallucinate and time does not behave itself even remotely. I did get to watch some really cool stuff and weirdly morphed movies and the TV wasn't even turned on. Martin van Buren, I think. I'm getting rusty on my presidential succession. Wonder if I can still recite the British royal succession? Bill Banaszak, MFE Sr. wonder how many models he left in his stash? The Beagle?

I'd assume his IPMS number would be in the double digits, or single digits? Any other current IPMS members this far along? grins.. yeah, I'm mean. -- Stephen " WmB" <HELLinhock@earthlink.net> wrote in > Hell who was President when this thing was born? T Hatched, not born... But the other sentiments I agree with. Rob > http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,200831,00.html > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > WmB Well, SOUPS ON!!!!! |
