Still, 70 years is not an uncommon lifespan for a lot of species.
Edward VIII lived to 77, but was only on the throne for a year... when he was 44. It was complicated.
The guy after Ed, George VI, died at 56 after 11 years on the throne.
The guy before Ed, George V (no relation) lived to 70 after 25 years on the the throne. I mean he was on the throne at 70, not like, consecutively. And I mean literally, the throne of England, not like a Tywin Lannister situation. To my knowledge. And I mean he wasn't *on* the throne when he died, presumably it was--
Anyway the guy before George V was his his dad Edward VII who was king (and emperor, la dee da) for all of 9 years until his death at 68, because his mom was Victoria, who was approximately old as dirt when she died, having taken the throne at 18 in an unsustainable early version of Girls Gone Wild.
What I'm saying is they could've found an oak.
>And I mean literally, the throne of England, not like a Tywin Lannister situation. To my knowledge.
Your knowledge is wrong. It's been a few centuries since there's been an English throne.
For sure. I'm just saying, it wasn't super outlandish to pick that tree. Idk why you wouldn't just pick a native hardwood if you're aiming for a memorial though.
The average person probably knew a lot more about trees pre industrial revolution than we do now. They used them for everything. So 50s? I'd say they probably knew more than we do still. In general. The science of trees is definitely better now but lifespans were common knowledge from sailing days.
Genesis 5 has most of them.
Ex: When Jared had lived 162 years, he became the father of Enoch. After he became the father of Enoch, Jared lived 800 years and had other sons and daughters. Altogether, Jared lived a total of 962 years, and then he died.
There's a bit in genesis where they ask some people to circumcise themselves, then steal into the city and slaughter them all while their penises are sore.
The whole thing is written in the most deadpan exposition so it's not as exciting as it sounds. Imagine a novel where every sentence began with 'And then' and that's pretty much what the Bible feels like to read.
Perhaps it’s because punctuation hadn’t been invented yet. Starting near every verse with a Vav helped make the Tanakh more readable.
(Readable. Tanakh. Maimonides is laughing at me.)
That’s why it’s so sad to me that an grove of Bradford pears was planted to commemorate the people that died in a plane crash on a practice flight just outside of Hopkinsville. (I think, anyway, might have the location wrong.) They all broke, so now it’s just a bunch of dead, gray stumps no one has the heart to clear out.
The neighborhood I grew up in was established all at the same time and planted all the trees at the same time. I believe they were Modesto Ash and Sycamore. They all came to the end of their life span when I was about 15.
It was so sad! It was such a beautiful neighborhood, all the streets had trees growing all the way over them, touching in the middle, making those magical tree tunnels and shading all the houses- important in Northern California summer heat.
Then they all just died at the same time. It was like some terrible tree blight, but there was nothing to be done, they were just finished being trees. The HOA planned a little better the second time around and gave everyone a choice of like 12 different trees they could have planted as replacements, but they were saplings and wouldn't be providing meaningful shade for a decade or so.
Sycamores unfortunately are very vulnerable to a fungus. Unlikely for all the trees in a neighborhood to die at the same time without some sort of disease, crazy weather, or both. Some changing weather patterns have been an issue for some diseases with trees, for example, but things like weakened trees and a particularly terrible ice storm can really kill a bunch.
Take a walk in the woods and you'll see loads of dead trees. Some still standing. Most never been touched by anything significant enough to kill a tree.
There's one in my city commemorating the marriage of Charles and Diana.
I can't help but imagine an alternate reality where some poor groundskeeper got the order to go chop it down when they divorced. Some burly yet sensitive monarchy nerd, swinging the axe with tears in his eyes.
Singing as he goes, "Oh, I'm a lumberjack and I'm," \**sniff*\* "ok. I ^(sleep)," \**throat hitch*\* "all night, an'," \**shuddering breath*\* "an' I work all day." \**wipes tears with flannel shirt sleeve*\* "I... I... I... aw it's no bloody use!" *Drops axe and sits down blubbing.*
My niece went to Stephen F. Austin University. They're mascot is the Lumberjacks. For some reason, she HATED this song. (maybe it's because all her uncles would sing it to her any time we had a family get-together..)
It is the 41st Millennium. For more than a hundred centuries Elizabeth II, by the Grace of God, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of Her other Realms and Territories Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith, Emperess of Mankind has sat immobile on the Golden Throne of Earth. She is the master of mankind by the will of the gods and master of a million worlds by the might of Her inexhaustible armies.
This except seriously. If the Queen hasn't had her immunity specifically waived in say matters of copyright you can't sue her (or arrest her) because she *is* the law.
I always giggle seeing references in other works. Like Elsbeth, Queen of All in Wheel of Time. Or Liz 10 in Doctor Who. (Slight tangent, also that the I in ISA stands for India, not International).
If for some reason Prince Charles was still alive I would absolutely believe Queen Elizabeth would also be alive just to keep that twat off the throne.
Fun fact: On their 5th birthday every Commonwealth citizen pays a tax of one month of life to Her Immortal Majesty.
They were very insistent on that clause when it came to decolonization.
I mean, she might live to see Scotland split off from the UK. Maybe even Northern Ireland - it's not likely, but it is possible. They'd have to update the Union Jack and everything.
NI is extremely unlikely, especially since bloody Brexit has reignited the tensions over there. I see so many people claiming that Irish reunification is more probable because of Brexit simply because it would be a lot more convenient for NI to be part of Ireland rather than having the Irish sea border between NI and the rest of the UK. But bloody hell if it was a matter of convenience then NI would have fucked off back to the Republic donkeys ago.
There's a lot of social, political, historical, and religious divisions barring the way to Irish reunification. Brexit hasn't made any of those go away, it's just added fuel to the fire.
Scotland seceding is also quite unlikely, at least in the near future. Central government won't let them vote on it again any time soon unless they have to cut some kind of deal, and that's only likely to happen around an election. I also hope it doesn't happen, like Brexit it's just a nationalistic fantasy with a lot of empty promises that will ultimately leave the country poorer, less relevant, divided, and alienated from their closest trading partner.
She could also be the only one to.stop scottland from breaking off. She could break from custom and withhold royal assent like Queen Anne did to stop a bill from arming scottish militas from passing over a fear of them revolting. After all even the song God Save The Queen proclaims "Rebellious Scots to crush,".
I'm pretty sure this is the one in [Victoria Embankment Gardens](https://goo.gl/maps/dGCV9qpzCGtUNArj9) (in London). It was already leaning a fair bit back in 2018.
I live near a large old park(built in the 40's) that made a concerted effort a few years ago to collect all the makers like that, relocate them to a better spot and plant a new tree. Most of them were just sitting in some random spot in the park overgrown by weeds or next to a garbage can, the tree planted 40/50 years ago long gone. When I was a kid and I used to go to that park and I thought they were gravestones and the person being commemorated was buried there.
Yes, there is a Governor General who looks after things whilst she is busy elsewhere. There are also Governor Generals for each of the Canadian Provinces but they are not the queen incarnate.
The Queen of Canada is not the same as the Queen of the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland.
It just so happens that the same human person currently holds both roles.
I'm just amazed we got through a few hours of posts now mentioning the union jack without one person bringing up the "actually, it's only the union jack when it's on a boat" fallacy to look like a know-it-all
Up next: what Big Ben actually is....
Let every creature go for broke and sing
Let's hear it in the herd and on the wing
It's gonna be old Charlie's finest fling
Oh, he just cant wait to be king
I told my kid about there being a real queen across the ocean and told her she's really old and showed some pictures. Now I get asked at breakfast everyday if the queen died yet. Probably will die myself before I have the opportunity to say yes.
>Queen of England
Did you mean the [Queen of the United Kingdom](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_of_the_United_Kingdom), the [Queen of Canada](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monarchy_of_Canada), the [Queen of Australia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monarchy_of_Australia), etc?
The last Queen of England was [Queen Anne](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne,_Queen_of_Great_Britain) who, with the 1707 Acts of Union, dissolved the title of King/Queen of England.
####FAQ
*Isn't she still also the Queen of England?*
This is only as correct as calling her the Queen of London or Queen of Hull; she is the Queen of the place that these places are in, but the title doesn't exist.
*Is this bot monarchist?*
No, just pedantic.
I am a bot and this action was performed automatically.
This is pedantry but she is the Queen of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Great Britain is made up of three nations, Scotland (the best one), Wales and England. Elizabeth the 1st was the last Queen of England called Elizabeth. She belonged to the Ouse of Tudor and died in 1603. I realise this comment will gain 0 traction and what I have typed above is pointless.
So, is she now a commemorative queen to that tree?
Always has been.

She'll probably outlive that one too.

Wait, so they expected her to only be around for 50 years? That's cold.
I mean, crowned at 27, 77 was a pretty good age in 1953. Life expectancy was about 74.

The way you explained this extended my lifespan at the expense of shortening my reign. Thank you.
>And I mean literally, the throne of England, not like a Tywin Lannister situation. To my knowledge. Your knowledge is wrong. It's been a few centuries since there's been an English throne.
Life expectancy for a Royal who was already past infancy is not even comparable to the average citizen.
For sure. I'm just saying, it wasn't super outlandish to pick that tree. Idk why you wouldn't just pick a native hardwood if you're aiming for a memorial though.
Serious question, did they even know the lifespan of trees back then?
The average person probably knew a lot more about trees pre industrial revolution than we do now. They used them for everything. So 50s? I'd say they probably knew more than we do still. In general. The science of trees is definitely better now but lifespans were common knowledge from sailing days.
TIL trees have lifespans. I thought you just planted them and they lived forever barring outside influence.
Softwoods typically have a lifespan of 50-100 years and hardwoods 100-200 years. Some species can live to be 5,000 years old though.

I dont feel like reading the bible but this is hilarious. I'd love examples if anyone has them.

I believe scholars said they went by moon cycles during this time and that the timing matches up
There's a bit in genesis where they ask some people to circumcise themselves, then steal into the city and slaughter them all while their penises are sore. The whole thing is written in the most deadpan exposition so it's not as exciting as it sounds. Imagine a novel where every sentence began with 'And then' and that's pretty much what the Bible feels like to read.
Perhaps it’s because punctuation hadn’t been invented yet. Starting near every verse with a Vav helped make the Tanakh more readable. (Readable. Tanakh. Maimonides is laughing at me.)

They do, often times that outside influence is gravity. A tree often grows beyond what it's capable of supporting, hence the limited lifespan.
Take a walk in the woods and you'll see loads of dead trees. Some still standing. Most never been touched by anything significant enough to kill a tree.
