The oldest recorded tree in the world: Sri Maha Bodhi (Sacred Bo-Tree)
----------------------------------------------------
A sapling of the sacred Bo tree (Peepal) (Ficus religiosa) in the shelter of which Prince Siddhartha Gauthama attained supreme enlightenment & became Buddha (6th century BC) was brought to Sri Lanka by Buddhist nun Sanagamiita, as a gift from her father Mauryan Buddhist Indian Emperor Asoka in the 3rd century BC. Today, the huge specimen of this Ficus religiosa has no rival to the claim of being the oldest historical tree (i.e. having the longest recorded written history) in the world. It has been protected by an uninterrupted series of Buddhist monks since it was planted.

Seven people have been arrested after two rival Tamil groups beat each other with baseball bats in Scarborough.

The fight erupted between the groups around 7 p.m. Saturday in Bluffers Park, near Kingston and Midland Rds.

Police arrived on scene shortly after and nabbed several suspects. As officers hauled two brawlers to a squad car, one of the apprehended men`s cellphone rang, said Staff Sgt. Brian Bowman.

`It was one of suspects. He was hiding deep (in the woods),` Bowman said.

Unaware his friend had been caught, the caller told the officer on the other end of the phone where he was hiding. He was arrested moments later.
