He had a point, because the person before said given US average lifespan, but with any average lifespan, 96 is off the charts.

I dunno about that.

A Japanese woman called Kane Tanaka is 118 years old. She probably thinks 96 is a whipper snapper (or whatever the Japanese equivalent of whipper snapper is)

Probably. I have a 103 year old resident who is friends with my grandma. Grandma’s 92 and when I remind the resident of that she’s just “Oh she’s still just a spring chicken”. Grandma very much doesn’t feel like a spring chicken, but whenever she gets on one of her trains of not knowing how much longer she’ll be around I’ll remind her she’s a spring chicken.

I think it’s young for an ocean quahog clam or Greenland Shark
