Happy Decacentamegalaversary!

German scientists have discovered the world's oldest ant, which clocks in at an outstanding 120 million years of age. That's older than Bob Dole! In honor of this ant-tastic discovery (har, har), let's take a look at some other things that happened 120 million years ago:

-Keith Jackson called the first Rose Bowl game, played between UCLA and Pangaea State

-The original release date for Spore was set

-Someone made the first joke about Bob Dole being very old

-TIME Magazine named the Oviraptor its "Dinosaur of the Year"

-It probably rained somewhere
