Fascinating. I had never read or heard a peep about clams being long-lived.
Did they say how it tasted?

Hope they cloned it before they killed it.

It was an old clam. What else were they going to do with it - find out its opinions on social security reform and Medicaid?

What is the standard quahog life span? Can they count on living until they are counted on?
