Must have a good chiropractor.
Their flesh is considered a delicacy in Iceland, but is also toxic, containing a chemical that when eaten gives a sensation similar to extreme drunkenness.
Only her hair dresser knows for sure...

Incredibly, Greenland sharks don’t reach sexual maturity until the age of 156, but it can happen as young as 134 according to findings.

Also known as the Helen Thomas shark.
Sounds like fun!.....................
Actually, Galileo did not "discover" that the Earth orbits the Sun-- other scientists before his time (including Copernicus) had hypothesized the same thing. Galileo's problem (as well as that of the earlier thinkers) was that, even though he was right, the theory he offered did not convince the scientists of his time (including those in the Church). His proposal assumed the planets orbited the sun in a circle, which they don't, and that the ocean tides were proof of the rotation of the earth, which it isn't. It wasn't until latter scientists discoveries of the elliptical orbits of planets and star parallax that the model would work.

That leaves out Republicans in Congress /s
I saw them preparing and eating that shite on a travel show once. It’s nasty and it stinks but they love it. If it’s what I’m thinking of.
Sound like a whopper of a fish tale to me.

When he was born, Christopher Columbus was still alive. He might have seen Juan Ponce de León, Jacques Cartier and Henry Hudson sail past.
The long period of immaturity suggests that in spite of humans’ opinions about other animals brains, north Atlantic sharks spend of lot of time learning before sexual maturity.
The parallel is the greater degree of enforced delay of “virtual” sexual maturity human societies have placed on “young adults”, over time, as “more advanced” learning seemed necessary for the more complex human societies.
Science is discovering numerous animal species have been doing the same thing, naturally, and not just “virtually” but actually, and due to various changing conditions, in their own case. The successive generation(s) have delayed sexual maturity, had fewer offspring but had more successful offspring by apparently learning how to cope better with changes the species encountered. They get a longer period of learning before reproduction and seem to have better survival strategies when they do start reproduction.
I am not sure what THAT says in the case of the north Atlantic sharks, other than the later sexual maturity does suggest “more learning” time was naturally deemed important. How that is triggered, versus how humans have intentionally triggered it is something I do not have an answer for.
Nicholas Copernicus, a Polish scientist living about a century before Galileo, had already come up with the unorthodox idea that the Sun was at the center of the solar system. Galileo knew about and had accepted Copernicus's heliocentric (Sun-centered) theory.
It was Galileo's observations of Venus that proved the theory. Using his telescope, Galileo found that Venus went through phases, just like our Moon. But, the nature of these phases could only be explained by Venus going around the Sun, not the Earth. Galileo concluded that Venus must travel around the Sun, passing at times behind and beyond it, rather than revolving directly around the Earth.
Galileo's observations of the phases of Venus virtually proved that the Earth was not the center of the universe. It was this assertion which most angered the Church leaders of the time. [solar-center.stanford.edu]
This shark was the oldest living animal and then the Danes killed it.
Creation is amazing!
