65 years sure is a long time to just float around eating and pooping.

I find it very interesting that they were able to keep fish alive for long periods in 1930's aquariums. I manage to kill them pretty quick in 2003.

Eating Pooping and VOTINGYep, looks like part of boss Daley's machine. One of those Cooke county voters who put JFK in the White House.
Anyone see the similarity of Methusela and Hillary C.??
