Just over three years old and about four-feet tall, Methuselah is growing well. "It's lovely," Dr. Sarah Sallon said of the date palm, whose parents may have provided food for the besieged Jews at Masada some 2,000 years ago.

    I made another smart ass comment, but it just didn't have the same ring to it.
    So I deleted it because I thought it wasn't as good as the first.
    Substance is important you know:)
    If you think it was good, I can redo it.

    Great book, I haven't read it in a long time.
    I was going for the Day of the Triffids meets Jurrasic Park.
    Might make a good movie. :lol:
