6 AMAZING ANIMALS THAT LIVED A LOT LONGER

Here are six legendary animals that lived a lot longer than most pets.

1. Adwaita the Tortoise (1750-2006)

Even with the long life expectancy of giant tortoises, an Aldabra Giant Tortoise named Adwaita blows all others away with a life lasting around 255 years. Estimates put his birth date around 1750, making him an entire generation older than the United States of America.

The tortoise was originally owned by a man named General Robert Clive, an important member of the East India Company, who got addicted to opium and killed himself in 1774. Barely a toddler at that time, Adwaita bummed around for a bit before eventually being transferred to an Indian zoo in 1875, where he spent the rest of his life eating and...that's pretty much it. After his death in 2006, carbon dating on his shell confirmed his age, making him quite possibly the oldest living creature ever, and almost certainly the oldest living vertebrate.

2. Lin Wang the Elephant (1917-2003)

The average lifespan for an elephant can be anything from 50-70 years, but the oldest elephant ever was named Lin Wang, who died in a Taiwanese zoo at the ripe old age of 86. But he managed to fit a whole lot of awesome into his life before then.

During World War II, the young pachyderm was recruited to move supplies for the Japanese army before being captured by the Chinese along with a dozen other elephants. At the end of the war, Lin Wang managed to survive the trek back to China from Burma, which was so difficult that it killed six of the other elephants. For the next few years, he was used to build monuments and joined a circus.

When China fell to the Communists in 1949, many people fled to Taiwan, and they brought Lin Wang along with them; within two years he was the only elephant out of the original 13 captured during the war that was still alive. Once safely in Taiwan he was finally placed in a zoo to live out his retirement in peace.

As he grew older, Lin Wang became famous and received the absolute devotion of the Taiwanese. Starting in 1983, his birthday was celebrated every year. Even his transfer from one zoo to another brought thousands of people out to watch. When he finally died in 2003, tens of thousands of people left cards and flowers outside the zoo, including the then President of Taiwan.

3. Big Bertha the Cow (1944-1993)

While most cows consider 25 years to be extremely old age, Big Bertha was born while World War II was still raging and died after most of the people reading this were born. In between, she managed to fit in a lot more excitement than a normal cow. Besides pushing out 39 children, for which she was awarded a Guinness World Record for most calves from one cow, she also managed to help raise $75,000 for cancer by making celebrity appearances at cattle fairs.

Being a true Irish lass, Bertha regularly led her local St. Patrick's Day parade, but since the noise and all the people were a bit much for her, her owner always calmed her nerves by feeding her whiskey beforehand.

Bertha was eventually awarded her second Guinness honor for Oldest Ever Cow. When she died, the locals held a wake for her in her favorite pub, which was "packed to suffocation" with people toasting her memory. If you ever want to go see her, her stuffed body is on display at a farm in Ireland.

4. Charlie the Macaw (1899(?)-present)

Charlie is a crotchety old blue macaw that may have already lived through three centuries and is still going strong. While it’s impossible to know the exact date he was born, estimates put it around the very end of the 19th century, and even if those estimates are off by a few decades, he has still lasted a lot longer than the average 50 year life span of normal macaws.

His current owner claims he was a favorite pet of Winston Churchill’s, who supposedly acquired Charlie in 1937 after the macaw had already managed to outlive two previous owners. While the Churchill claim is hotly debated, what is certain is that whoever did own Charlie during World War II taught him to say some very dirty phrases, mostly about Hitler and the Nazis.

His speech is so vulgar that his current owner, who says he purchased Charlie from the Churchill estate after Winston died in 1965, was forced to keep him instead of selling him in his pet shop as he had originally intended.

5. Tish the Goldfish (1956-1999)

Remember those fair games where you could win a goldfish? These are an important part of childhood, because they teach kids about the briefness of life, when the fish inevitably dies 3 days later. If you are lucky it might live a year or two. That's probably what Mr. and Mrs. Hand where expecting when they let their son Peter try to win a pair of fish in 1956. Little did they know they would be taking care of one of those fish into their 70s.

After a few suicide attempts in his youth, Tish settled down with his bowl mate Tosh. That carnival worker must have been feeding all of his fish something pretty amazing, because Tosh didn’t expire until 1975. Normally that would be pretty impressive for a goldfish if his friend Tish hadn’t made lasting 19 years look pathetic, by living until the ripe old age of 43.

A year before he died, Tish was awarded the title of Oldest Goldfish by the Guinness Book of World Records.

6. Matilda the Chicken (1990-2006)

Keith and Donna Barton bought Matilda for $10 at a fair in 1990. Instead of putting her in a chicken coop or eating her or any of those normal things you expect people to do with chickens, they put Matilda to work as a part of their magic act.

They probably expected to replace their poultry assistant a lot sooner than they did, though; while most chickens only live 7-8 years, Matilda was still kicking after 15. She never laid a single egg in all that time, an abnormality that some chicken experts think may have directly contributed to her long life.

In 2001, Matilda became the first chicken to place in the Guinness Book of World Records as "World's Oldest Living Chicken." This led to the second horrible thing her owners put her through: a spot on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.

In her later years, Matilda used her celebrity for good, attending many charity functions. She died in 2006.

A QUOTE FROM WILL SMITH

SPEECH BY H.E. HON. UHURU KENYATTA,C.G.H., PRESIDENT AND COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF OF THE DEFENCE FORCES OFTHE REPUBLIC OF KENYA DURING HISINAUGURATION AND SWEARING-INCEREMONY ON TUESDAY, 9 TH APRIL 2013AT THE MOI INTERNATIONAL SPORTSCOMPLEX, NAIROBI.

H.E. President Uhuru Kenyatta Inaugural Address by Uhuru Kenyatta

THE PRESIDENT OF KENYA UHURU KENYATTA'S PROFILE IN POLITICS

Uhuru Kenyatta’s Swearing in Ceremony took place today on 9 April 2013 at the Moi International Sports Centre in Kasarani. We take a look at Kenya’s president-elect and reveal seven facts which provide insight into the 51-year-old.

He is the son of Kenya's first president
Kenyatta is the son of Kenya's first post-independence president Jomo Kenyatta and his fourth wife Mama Ngina. Jomo Kenyatta was a member of Mau Mau, Kenya's anti-colonial movement and was arrested and served eight years in prison for his involvement. Kenyatta was the president of Kenya from 1963 to his death in 1978. His reign as president saw him making moves to centralise power, advance the interests of the Kikuyu ethnic group and suppress opposition.

He is among the richest men in Africa
In 2011 Uhuru Kenyatta was number 26 on the Forbes Africa's 40 Wealthiest People list. He is widely considered to be the wealthiest man in Kenya and his net worth has been estimated to be in the region of US$500 million. The family's land wealth was gained in the 60s and 70s when the World Bank sold land owned by British colonialists to Kenyans at dramatically reduced prices. Much of his wealth is in the more than 500 000 acres he owns. The president elect also owns Kenya's largest dairy (Brookside Dairies) along with his family, luxury hotels and a stake in television station K24.

His name means 'freedom' in Swahili
His name Uhuru is not only the Swahili word for freedom, it is also the name of the highest peak on Mount Kilimanjaro (the highest mountain in Africa). The direct translation of Uhuru means freedom, but in the context of the decolonisation of Africa (around the period when he was born) it also means independence.

He was mentioned in the Wikileaks cables
Uhuru Kenyatta, then deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister, was mentioned in the 2011 diplomatic cables that were leaked by the wikileaks website. The leaks mention that Kenyatta was preparing for a presidential bid in the elections, which were scheduled for 2012. The leaked cable listed his strengths and weaknesses, they said: "Kenyatta is bright and charming, even charismatic. He is enormously wealthy, and therefore has not had to engage in corruption. Although his wealth is the inheritance from his father's corruption, the Kenyatta family still holds a special status. Kenyatta's liabilities are at least as important as his strengths. He drinks too much and is not a hard worker (though he surprised everyone by the acuity of the budget, which reportedly resulted from some tough work over long hours). Perhaps most importantly, Kenyatta has been closely linked to the Mungiki (which emerged in the aftermath of the Mau Mau and began as a movement in defense of Kikuyu traditional values, but which has long since morphed into a well-organized mafia-style criminal organization). The reason that Kenyatta is assumed to be on the Waki Commission list of suspected perpetrators of post-election violence is his fund-raising to support Mungiki violent actions against Kalenjins during the post-election violence."

He was mentored by Daniel Arap Moi
Kenyatta initially steered clear of politics on his return from studying political Science at Amherst College in Massachusetts. He was brought into the political fold by then-President Daniel arap Moi when he was appointed head of the Kenya Tourism Board in 1999. Moi had served as Vice-President under Jomo Kenyatta, before becoming president when Kenyatta died. In 2002 Moi named Uhuru Kenyatta as his replacement, a move many saw as Moi's attempt to hold on to power through a proxy. Kenyatta was roundly defeated by Mwai Kibaki in that election, and the move was seen as the death knell to any post-presidency ambitions Moi had as he had alienated many of the most powerful members of his own party when he named the young Kenyatta as his successor.

He is facing charges at the International Criminal Court (over 2007 post-election violence)
Kenyatta was indicted by the International Criminal Court (ICC) at the Hague on charges of planning and funding violence against people of the Luo and Kalenjin ethnic groups in the Nakuru and Naivasha areas. Kenyatta is alleged to have hired Mungiki terrorists to retaliate for attacks on Kikuyu people in the violence that followed the botched general election in 2007. While the charges against him were expected to hurt his campaign for the presidency, many now feels they actually helped as Kenyans feel Africa has been unjustly targeted by the ICC. The charges at the ICC also mean that Kenyatta might have to deal with strained diplomatic relations with the West. He was willing to attack the West in his election campaigning and it worked in his favour, however, despite Kenya’s regional importance many leaders appear to have tacitly indicated their disapproval of Kenyatta.

His tenure as Finance Minister
Kenyatta's term as finance minister is considered one of his successes. In that role he has been at the head of a roll out of reforms and spending on infrastructure. His Economic Stimulus Plan was hailed by the media within Kenya and abroad and his backing of innovative businesses and technologies has been a source of admiration for many. One of these was his Fund for the Inclusion of the Informal Sector. Other initiatives, such as his bid to have Ministers give up their luxury automobiles, have been failures.

WHAT IS A LOVE BITE/KISS MARK/HICKEY? HAVE YOU EVER CHECKED IT TO YOUR LOVE?

It occurs when you suck at a person's skin till you cause the blood vessels to pop and a purple, red, or pink mark appears. The colour depends on how long and hard you suck. It is a bruise or bruise like mark caused by the kissing or sucking of the skin, usually on the neck or arm. Basically a person gives it to someone they are in love with or dating or having sex with in effect "branding" them as their property. (well that's the true meaning, that the bitee belongs to the biter as long as the make is visible).

Hickeys typically last from five to twelve days and may be treated in the same way as other bruises. They can be covered with foundation, powder or fake tan. Alternatively, articles of clothing such as scarves, turtle necks, or sleeves may be used to conceal hickeys.

If you ever saw it before, just try to check it to your love after having a long kiss or skin suck and you will find it, and mostly seen to those with white skin.

POLL OPENED THE 2007 WOUNDS, CORD SHALL EXPLOIT OTHER MEANS, SAID RAILA ODINGA

Prime Minister of Kenya Raila Odinga accepted the Supreme Court verdict on the validity of President elect Uhuru Kenyatta’s win, because he did not want to appear hypocritical after promising to respect the judges’ ruling. In a BBC interview a day after conceding defeat and wishing Uhuru and his team well, Raila said even after the ruling, his coalition would fight on for democracy, “through other venues’’ which he did not specify. 
He also claimed victory in the March 4 race was “predetermined and manipulated by a few technocrats,’’ and warned that if this trend continues, Kenyans will lose faith in elections and “explore other means”. Again the PM did not say what this would probably entail.
“In the fight for democracy, election is just an event,’’ he said.
He was also emphatic that he conceded defeat as a personal sacrifice to avoid the bloodshed of 2007-2008, stirred by disputed presidential elections results between himself and outgoing President Mwai Kibaki.
The PM told the BBC the developments in this month’s elections and the Supreme Court’s handling of his petition has opened afresh wounds from the scary experiences of 2007. 
Asked if he thought Uhuru would present himself for crimes against humanity trials at the International Criminal Court, the PM told his interviewer that the President-elect is best placed to answer that question.
The Prime Minister was categorical the Saturday ruling failed to restore Kenyans’ confidence in elections and denied them an opportunity to know that transpired.
“The wounds have not been healed but opened by what has just happened. It is a replica of what exactly happened in 2007,” Raila said when asked if he thought the ruling had healed the wounds of the country’s saddest moment five years ago.
The PM warned the verdict left many Kenyans dejected saying the decision by the court to reject some of his evidence will lead to voter apathy and possibly Kenyans seeking for other ways to address electoral disputes.
