They won’t live to 601 because Dr Wannabe is going to cut them open to prove they're 600.

I heard this on NPR this morning.  I was a little sick to hear that they "had" to kill it to be able to count it.  Is it really worth it? :dunno

RandyT:

Clams have no propulsion system, which means it sat there in that same spot for over 400 years.

It probably started hoping someone would come along and kill it about 200 years ago.

They didn't kill it just to learn it's age.
