The official flower on Father's Day is the dandelion, because the more it's trampled on, the better it grows. Records of man's ability to live out his life over one or two centuries are actually commonplace. But the story of Jean Turel of Dijon, France, is spectacular in its longevity. Turel served in the French army over three consecutive centuries.
