She's been dead a week, but she still seems unlucky to me
Much as I love my children - I hope they are listening - there are some things you eventually want to be too old to do, and having children at age 100 is one of them. National Geographic just sent an e-mail with a photo of this old gal of a pregnant fish. They know that I and many other subscribers love to stack our copies of the magazine without actually reading it, so we probably all missed the death of this female shortraker rockfish last week. They seemed to think the startling fact was that she was 100 years old.
I was impressed by her age but really impressed by the fact she could still bear offspring, in the sense of having them, not putting up with them, of course.
Hate to say it, lovely old thing, but I wouldn't say getting pregnant at 100 was your lucky day. I wonder if it happened on the last Friday the 13th?
