The oldest scientifically proven tree is the Methuselah tree, a bristlecone pine in the White Mountains of California, which is over 4700 years old.
I remember reading about that. The scientists who calculated that actually cut the tree down with a chainsaw to count the rings to varify the carbon dating 
oldest tree in the world, how do we prove it... Oh yes lets hack it down and count the rings...

Actually, the tree you're speaking of, Prometheus, is a different one.

If you bother to read that, you would see that it wasn't as simple as "Hey, this must be the oldest tree, let's cut it down!"

You can use a core sample to count the rings and not kill the tree. I suspect they did not actually cut it down, and instead just used a core sample.

I found several bizar facts in an old "fun mail" (am at work)
In Saudi Arabia, men are legally allowed to have sex with animals, but the animals must be female.
Having sexual relations with a male animal is punishable by death.
(Like THAT makes sense.)
In Bahrain, a male doctor may legally examine a woman's genitals, but is prohibited from looking directly at them during the examination.
He may only see their reflection in a mirror.
Muslims are banned from looking at the genitals of a corpse. This also applies to undertakers;
the sex organs of the deceased must be covered with a brick or piece of wood at all times. (A brick?)
The penalty for ************ in Indonesia is decapitation. (Wonder which head?)
There are men in Guam whose full-time job is to travel the countryside and deflower young virgins,
who pay them for the privilege of having sex for the first time... Reason: under Guam law, it is expressly forbidden for virgins to marry.
Let's just think for a minute; is there any job anywhere else in the world that even comes close to this?)
In Hong Kong, a betrayed wife is legally allowed to kill her adulterous husband, but may only do so with her bare hands.
The husband's lover, on the other hand, may be killed in any manner desired.
(Ah! Justice!)
Topless saleswomen are legal in Liverpool, England - but only in tropical fish stores. (But of course!)
In Cali, Colombia, a woman may only have sex with her husband, and the first time this happens, her mother must be in the room to witness the act.
(Makes one shudder at the thought.)
In Santa Cruz, Bolivia, it is illegal for a man to have sex with a woman and her daughter at the same time.
(I presume this was a big enough problem that they had to pass this law?)
In Maryland, it is illegal to sell condoms from vending machines with one exception:
prophylactics may be dispensed from a vending machine only > "in places where alcoholic beverages are sold for consumption on the premises."
(Is this a great country or what? Not as great as Guam!)
If you yelled for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days, you would have produced enough sound energy to heat one cup of coffee. (Hardly seems worth it)
If you fart consistently for 6 years and 9 months, enough gas is produced to create the energy of an atomic bomb. (Now that's more like it)
A pig's orgasm lasts for 30 minutes. (In my next life I want to be a pig)
Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories an hour. (Still not over that pig thing)
Humans and dolphins are the only species that have sex for pleasure. (Is that why Flipper was always smiling?)
The strongest muscle in the body is the tongue. (Hummm....I won't touch THAT one!)
The ant can lift 50 times its own weight, can pull 30 times its own weight and always falls over on its right side when intoxicated.
(From drinking little bottles of...?) (Did the govt. pay for this research??)
Some lions mate over 50 times a day. (In my next life I STILL want to be a pig ... quality over quantity)
Butterflies taste with their feet. (Ah, geez)
An ostrich's eye is bigger than it's brain. (I know some people like that.)
Starfish don't have brains. (I know some people like that too)
After reading all these, all I can say is.......Damn Those Pigs.

The song "black magic woman", made famous by Carlos Santana, was originally written by Peter Greene of Fleetwood Mac.
The Star Trek (original show) theme song has lyrics.
Beyond
The rim of the star-light
My love
Is wand'ring in star-flight
I know
He'll find in star-clustered reaches
Love,
Strange love a star woman teaches.
I know
His journey ends never
His star trek
Will go on forever.
But tell him
While he wanders his starry sea
Remember, remember me.

The story goes, that his borer broke when trying to take a core sample. It may have hit a rock inside the tree (and yes it is possible for a rock to end up inside a tree, avalanche debris the most likely cause). It wasn't possible for him to get a new borer that summer, so he petitioned to cut the tree in order to study the sections.
And on to more facts:
The words to the Itchy and Scratchy song from The Simpsons:
"They Fight, they bite, they fight and bite and fight. Bite bite bite, fight fight fight... The Itchy and Scratchy Show!"
The mouse is Itchy and the cat is Scratchy
Homer's internet company is named Compuglobalhypermeganet.
There are 70 Springfields in the US (and one in the Virgin Islands). Georgia has the most with nine.
When Maggie is rung up on the register in the opening credits, she costs $847.63, a figure once given as the cost of raising a baby for one month in the US.

bzzt, wrong. Bonobo Monkeys do as well.

except i have hair. think Daffyd rather than andy (yes, i know. it gets annoying having random people go up to you when you're out and ask "are you the only *** in village?")

Few off the top of my head;
In Royal Navy trident-class submarines, women are not allowed to serve!
In the same subs, the crew don't know where in the world they are at any one time as it's classified information. Only the captain and a select few staff know.
Not relegated to Royal Navy subs this one... but many countries have nuclear subs that hide constantly under ice glaciers for the sole purpose of - once nuclear war has ended and the world is dead - coming out and finishing off the enemy.
A funnier one:
I forgot what state in the US, but in one of them it's illegal to tickle a woman! The following exchange comes immediately to mind:
"Ello ello ello, wots all this! Were you tickling your wife there sir!?"
"No no officer, I swear! It was just domestic abuse!"
"I saw it, it woz ticklin. Don't let it appen again."
-omg-
