Some of the oldest living things on earth them bristlecone pines...Cool mac BTW!

 

There was an amusing but incredible story in Thomas Pakenham's Remarkable Trees of the World..."a geography student in Utah thought he would find a bristlecone even older than Schulman's Old Man. And he did. He borrowed a tree-borer and found a tree in the snake mountains of Nevada and Utah that could be dated 4900 years old. But the borrowed tree borer snapped off in the tree. Incredibly the local ranger gave him permission to cut down the tree to rescue the tree-borer. Today all that remains of the tree that was the oldest tree in the world is a slice of the trunk on show in a gambling saloon in Nevada"

Takes some believing how stupid people can be!!
