The Only Immortal Animal in World

World's Only Immortal Animal

Turritopsis nutricula is the world's only immortal animal. It's a tiny jellyfish, 4-5 mm in length.

Man Drives the Same Car for 82 Years!



Comment: This has to be a record for car ownership! Mr. Allen Swift (Springfield, MA.) received this 1928 Rolls-Royce Picadilly P 1 Roadster from his father, brand new as a graduation gift in 1928. He drove it up until his death last year.....at the age of 102!!!

He was the oldest living owner of a car from new. Just thought you'd like to see it. He donated it to a Springfield museum after his death. It has 170,000 miles on it, still runs like a Swiss watch, dead silent at any speed and is in perfect cosmetic condition. (82 years) ...That's approximately 2000 miles per year...
