Have a look at wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_long-living_organisms
There are many, many organisms that live longer than 200 years.
Perhaps you meant "animal"? Some koi fish have lived to be over 200, and one mollusk was dated between 00 and 410 years old when it died.

These things are ungodly tasty. My family went to the Pacific NW for vacation when I was a kid, and my parents dug their limit, 18each; you can do the math at $300 in Japan. The clams themselves they dredged in cornmeal and flour and fried in butter, the siphons were ground in a meat grinder and turned into chowdah. It was very sweet, like crab is sweet. Absolutely memorable.

i live in seattle, just up the street from the Olde Curiosity Shoppe where that picture of the geoduck in a jar was taken... as a kid, i remember my dad steaming vast buckets of these things out back. the yard would smell awful. but then, i'm not a fan of clams or any other mollusk. at least food-wise.

Geoducks are out of this world when it comes to eating them. They do not taste anything like clams or anything else with a shell. Just like scallops, there really is no wrong way to eat them. Cooked or raw, geoducks are insanely delicious. I am a big sashimi fan and for the longest time, I was eating these without ever learning the English name for them. In sushi bars, they are known as mirugai. So some of you sushi fans might have already tried it without knowing. If any of you ever plan to try this in a sushi bar, make sure you ask the chef when they will get a fresh shipment of them in because it is best raw when absolutely fresh. They have a very nice texture and flavor when raw. Think scallops with a bit of a crunch to it. Yummy!

Ronald McDonald is horror art anywhere. We had one just like that (ok, not that pose) on a bench outside the McDonald's in Wal-mart and and a mother was trying to get her child to sit next to it so she could get a picture, and the child wanted nothing to do with it. That wide, fake grin... those empty, staring eyes... *shudder* I should have taken a picture for the nightmare playground series.

The house is called the "six shell bubble house/ “Bulle“ à 6 coques" by french architect Jean maneval. Some 30 were made and located in a village in the French Pyrennes, I believe that a few have been rescued and renovated. They were easy to transport, breaking into six parts, and being designed to be transported on one truck. It is one of my favourite pieces of architecture.

About the gorilla, bokito isn't a vicious gorilla. The woman he attacked, vistited him serveral times a week and spent most of the time staring at him, thinking that bokito liked her.
It is well known that when you stare in to an animals eye's it freaks them out (that's why cats always seem to go to the people who don't like cats, because they DON'T look at them).
She also thought that when bokito showed his teeth, he was smiling at her, while it actually is a sign of agression or anger.

How you said it freaks Animals out when you look at them... Wel, funny thing is, here in Belgium, lots of humans become very agressive as well when you stare at them :( I lost count how many people got extremely angry because I looked at them in a "wrong" way at a party or on the streets... I guess you know what kind of people I mean ;-)

the "Nazi Sub" (subs don't extend their right arm;)) is not a submarine...
It is the rarely known VS-5, an experimental prototype of a mostly-submerged vessel. It could not dive, but was to test an experimental hydrodynamic hull shape.
Possible applications would have been as a motor torpedo boat, but the german navy wasn't even interested in the prototype.

"As the Cold war progressed they were getting bigger and deadlier", these 2 Russian submarines are the O.S.C.A.R class, built in Sevmash Shipyards, about 50 miles away from Arcangel.

The first Soviet nuclear sub wasn't K-19 (it was third). First was K-3, and it lived mostly uneventful life. Also, there's only one Oscar-class sub. The one near the beach is Typhoon/Akula-class, AKA Project 941 -- the biggest subs ever built.

To anonymous #2: Yes, and driving all that mileage with an SUV which guzzles fuel like there's no tomorrow doesn't help. You probably know that, at least in common stereotypes, EVERY US citizen drives an SUV. (That is to say that I don't know how many actually do)

If more people in the US supported electric cars, like the Zenn, then we would not be as dependant on oil. I'm not talking about those little golf cart things, but real cars that people can drive on the streets. These cars' cost per gallon of "fuel" is equivilent to about 300 miles per gallon for a normal car.

The waterfalls in Indiana Jones were not CGI. The boat was superimposed over real footage of Iguacu Falls on the Brazil/Argentina border (all the filming was done of the Brazil side). They filmed two drops where the river is actually stepped, so it looks like there are two falls. The third part was simply filmed at a different section of the same waterfall, which stretches 2 miles in width. Pretty well done camera trickery, actually.

Ernesto kind of misses the point. The name of the waterfall in Spanish is Salto Angel, nothing to do with a "caida".
And you wouldn't get wet if you kayaked to the base of the falls as the closest navigable river is a two hour walk away from the Mirador, or observation point, where the majority of tourists are taken and which itself is quite far from the base of the falls.
