[QUOTE="Steampunkette, post: 9382813, member: 6796468"] No, but you don't understand! Sharks are -unfathomably- old! They were apex predators 450 million years ago and stayed that way. You know what sharks are older than? Trees. 420 million years old, at most. Polaris. The North Star. I don't mean "Since it became the North Star" I mean Polaris is 75 million years old. Sharks are -vastly- older than the North Star! Saturn has only had it's rings for about 100 million years! The Pleiades Cluster is somewhere around 100-150 million years old. Our Solar System's orbit around the Milky Way is about 225 million years. Sharks have seen it TWICE. Flowers evolved around 150-250 million years ago. Sharks have been around longer than flowers, and pollinators! The Bootes void, the largest known void in the universe, a space between galaxies where nothing exists? It takes light 350 million years to cross it. At LIGHT SPEED. Sharks have been around longer than it takes for light to cross that massive void. Trees. 420 million years old, at most. Sharks were around 30 MILLION YEARS before the first tree. The youngest galaxy in the known universe is only SLIGHTLY older than Sharks at 500 million years old. ... sorry to derail. Just... Sharks are so old it's crazy. Anyway. Yeah. Warforged -can- live indefinitely, with constant repairs and care, but it's far more likely they can live around 80-120 years before they just stop functioning due to wear and tear. [/QUOTE]
