A streak of white hair naturally occurring is called a mallen streak. Its hereditary.

Does that count for beards? I got something like that in my beard.

Excellent! Coincidently I am working on a dj set of Brazilian music I'll be playing tomorrow before and after a local bossa nova band plays my local cidery. I did it the last time they played and ot went down well so I'm anxious to up my game. I usually stick with records but I may slip in some cds as all my Jorge Ben and Gilberto Gil are on that format.

Sounds like fun. Make sure you give Zé Roberto's Lotus 72D a spin if you can. It's his tribute to Brazilian Formula One legend Emerson Fittipaldi - makes a change from Jorge Ben singing about football - and I've been going absolutely fucking daft for it lately.

There's a shark species - the Greenland Shark, that probably lives to be 500 years old - one specimen has been dated as being 392 years old. Females are thought to be unable to breed until they are around 150 years old.








Dating techniques aren't totally accurate, radiocarbon dating of carbon isotopes in eye tissues, so the one given an age of 392 is thought to be at leastt 272 years old, and could be as much as 512.
