Erm, I suspect that's on account of the cheese.

Several animals or plants have a length of life which extends beyond recorded history. Estimates place possibly the longest lived individual as being what?

A box huckleberry bush
The bush (in Perry County, Pennsylvania, USA) is thought to be around 13,000 years old. Glass sponges found in the East China Sea and Southern Ocean have been estimated to be more than 10,000 years old (and the longest lived animals); a Great Basin bristlecone pine in California has been measured by ring count to be 4,855 years old; specimens of the black coral genus Leiopathes, such as Leiopathes glaberrima, are around 4,265 years old. Colonies of other living organisms have been estimated to date from anything up to 200,000 years ago, e.g. the colony of the shrub Lomatia tasmanica in Tasmania is estimated to be at least 43,600 years old, a colony of sea grass near Ibiza, Spain, is estimated to be up to 200,000 years old.

I tought a Glass Sponge sounded cool,but that got me wondering about the natute of "Cool"
I thought well you dont get any cooler with age,
but you do care progressively less about being cool,
which in reality is the only way to be really cool.
I called this "The Old Geezers Paradox".

Hmmm. I found that as I “matured” my body cooled a lot but it turns out that that has something to do with circulation.👍
