[i]IBM's 2321 Magnetic Data Cell Storage Unit. Announced in 1964 it had a capacitoy of 400 million bytes with an access time of 95-600 milliseconds.
The 2321 housed up to ten removable and interchangeable data cells. Each data cell contained 200 strips of magnetic tape, which were the basic recording media. Although its storage medium was tape, the 2321 was a direct access storage device which could directly access a record rather than scan all the tape to find a record as would a conventional tape drive. In comparison to the contemporary IBM 2311 Disk Device, the IBM 2321 Data Cell Device held 55 times more data, while being only 7 times slower.
The 2321 was whimsically known as the "noodle picker" since the removable magnetic strips were flexible and resembled lasagna noodles.[/i]

[quote][B]Long-nosed Bat[/B] ([I]Rhynchonycteris naso[/I])
This bat inhabits tropical lowlands from southeastern Mexico south to Brazil, Peru, and Bolivia. They are nocturnal aerial insectivores and tend to feed over water, flying only a short distance above the surface.
During the day, they often roost in well-lit areas, clinging upside down in a vertical line on the bark and roots of trees overhanging water. On occasion, some have been found under bridges or under large fabric umbrellas of outdoor Brazilian restaurants.[/quote]

[quote][B][I]Achrioptera fallax [/I][/B]
[I]Achrioptera fallax[/I] is a stick insect species found in Madagascar. The males are a bright electric blue (with greenish tints) and have two rows of reddish orange spines along the edges of the femur. There are also dark coloured spines going along the sides and underneath the thorax.
Males are brachypterous (incapable of flight) and have small reduced wings. Females have a duller outlook. They are a light brown with red spines covering the entire thorax and the top of the head. The male grows up to 13 cm in length while the female is much bigger and can grow up to 18, 5 cm in length. Their diet in the wild is unknown but in captivity they mainly feed on bramble, raspberry, eucalyptus, and oak. [/quote]

Jean Thurel, also known as the oldest soldier of Europe.
This hard-ass motherfucker lived from 1698 to 1807, and served in the military of France from 1716 to 1807, serving for 90 of the 108 years of his long, eventful life.
As if that wasn't enough here's the real kicker, in that time he seldom accepted a promotion, remaining a humble soldier, as opposed to a high-ranking officer. He wasn't given an honorary position either, he continued to fight, even refusing carriage rides, preferring to march with his fellow grunts.
He was the only soldier to receive three Médaillon Des Deux Épées, a medallion awarded for 24 years of service, as is evident in his portrait, next to his Légion d'Honneur.
Jean Thurel never retired either, dying not in battle, but after a period of brief illness.
That's just the tip of the iceberg, this guy lived quite a life, living through four regimes, serving three different monarchs, and living through three centuries.

I always find it neat how a lot of veterans live pretty long lives (100+) when they constantly pushed their bodies to the limit and possibly near death.
