Default Ol Thom's just a whipper snapper.

Seems they found a clam that they can date to have been alive for
405-410 years. That's right oldest animal ever found alive. Some
fishermen caught it last mo. Seems they count the rings on the shell
top like rings on a tree to date them. Bet that's going to be a good
cup of chowder.

Shakespheare was writing Hamlett, QE1 was queen and Ol Thom wasen't
even an twikle in his great, great, great grandfathers eye.
