Scientists accidentally kill world's oldest animal at age 507. The oldest animal ever known lived from 1499 until the day researchers cracked its shell open, killing it in the process.
For example, there is a federal law (and similar laws in every state) allowing consumers to cancel contracts made with a door-to-door salesperson within three days of signing. You might use that law after hastily agreeing to have someone repave your driveway, deliver lawn fertilizer, or put a new roof on your house.
At the time the contract is signed, the salesperson must orally explain your right to cancel the contract and must give you: A fully completed receipt or a copy of the contract (written in the same language as used in the sales presentation) stating the date of the sale and the merchantâs name and address.
