Ale the Eel, RIP
Please, a moments pause for Ale the Eel of Brantevik in Skåne, Sweden. Ale passed quietly in Tomas Kjellman's well at the age of 155.

Apparently John Cleese is writing their photo captions...

Now Wiki says they're born in the ocean, move up rivers/streams to fresh water for 5 to 20 years, then back to the ocean to join an orgy in a sexual frenzy and die.
But the God fearing Eels that devote themselves to chastity, can live to 155 years old... in a well, alone, in the dark.

In the dark. Just like that recent cancer study.

Are you saying that if breast cancer patients live in the dark, we'll live to be 155?
Or is it the chastity ... but wait. There was a second eel, according to the news stories. So chastity is doubtful. But I want to know how a few flies etc. could keep two eels going all those years. My suspicion is that there's a secret entrance at the bottom of the well that allows the eels to come and go at will, connecting to a tributary that takes them back to the sea. So while there've been one or two eels down there over the centuries, how do we know they've been the same eels? Or just descendants? You know, like salmon spawning, the eels come back to the well ...
