107 year old farmer from Clare being interviewed in 1965 – talks about the changes in farming during his lifetime, recalls eating Indian meal (maize/corn) and witnessing Bodyke evictions

Mind-blowing to think that in his youth he would've interacted with people born in the 1700s pic.twitter.com/CCiumNF3qD

In fairness.

Bodyke evictions?

Meanwhile…

Use Occam's Razor here.

Which is more plausible, that he was genuinely 107 despite looking about 90? Or was mistaken due to being born in an era of poor records? Or lied about his age to claim a pension?https://t.co/JbCNINciSe

Bloom – a conceptual design by French architectural firm Sitbon Architectes has been selected as a finalist in the ‘architecture and weather’ category of the Architizer A+ Awards – a semi submersible spherical lab and garden tethered by cables to the ocean floor.

As well as desalinating seawater for use by a resident staff of marine biologists and researchers, the structure is designed to cultivate C02 consuming, oxygen producing microscopic marine phytoplankton and monitor ocean chemistry to provide advance warning of tsunami and other natural events.
