oh?

It is possible to love someone deeply whom you’ve never met. It is possible for someone you’ve never met to change your life, to make it safer, gentler, more beautiful, more alive. And when something happens to them, even if you don’t know them, not exactly, it may truly hurt you. Please try to tolerate these signs of love in yourself. You are not at fault for being affected by the shock and confusion and pain of someone you care about – no matter how well or how you’ve known them – suddenly being missing from your life. Look at how beautifully you love, that you’re able to care so much. Don’t let anyone take away from you the beauty of loving anyone.

What the fuck.

The researchers have measured the Greenland shark and estimated that it could be born as early as 1505. Known to live in temperature less than -1 degree Celcius, these sharks can swim as deep as 7,200 feet and weigh more than a tonne. According to reports, the shark measured 18ft in length. It is this length which reportedly can mean the shark can be anywhere between 272 to 512 years old, as this species grows at a rate of 1 cm a year. It is the oldest among the 28 Greenland sharks that are analyzed. These sharks have an estimated lifespan of 400 years and they spend their time swimming around looking for mates. It’s not totally clear why Greenland sharks live for so long. Scientists postulate that it may be in their genes, or it could be the fact that they live in relatively cold temperatures and have a slow metabolism.
