Ming saw off Queen Elizabeth I, the English Civil War, the entire Enlightenment, the Industrial Revolution and two World Wars. Clams have eyes?

scientists KILLED it by opening it up to check its age
Now was that really necessary? I’d support that if they were trying to figure out Pelosi or Hillary’s real age, but not some poor shellfish.

Not knowing the long life of the mollusc, researchers at Bangor University opened its shell for analysis, killing Ming in the process. It's not dead. It's sleeping.

The universities turn out thousands of educated idiots every year. Some get jobs in government or business where they can do real harm. But they all had to do research papers.

While it is true that “creature” especially means animals, the term actually includes all living things (including angels). I believe the Joshua Tree is the oldest living creature.
The term means those souls (including angelic, vegetative, animal and rational (human) souls) created by God.

'Ming' has been confirmed as the world’s oldest animal at 507 years old.
I'll believe that when I see a birth certificate....
