    quote: "(the oldest recorded getting to 10 WEEKS)"??????? I've lived much more than 10 weeks and im still considered young!!! and if you didn't know, I am a vertebrate.

    		Calm down, Luis! What I want is a vertebrate. The oldest of which on record died at 10 weeks old. OK Dark Bark - you get half a yay. What's its scientific name?

    		Nothobranchius furzeri, the 5 centimetre fish matures, mates, lays its eggs, and dies of old age in just 6 weeks or so.
