1) What is the oldest thing you own?
Rocks, and a piece of petrified wood, which is also a rock but a special one.
2) What is the oldest home you've lived in?
My childhood home was built in the 1920s. It's a craftsman-style farmhouse, and was pretty small; my parents put on an addition and did some remodeling to add bedrooms and bathrooms.
3) What is the oldest book you've read?
In high school I read some classics like Antigone, which is probably the oldest at ~441 BC. I don't really read classics on my own time.
4) What is the oldest electronic device that you still use?
A stereo, really a boombox style, with CD player, tape player, and radio. I've had it since high school, so, 20+ years. Works well.
5) What is the oldest work of art/architecture that you've seen?
Probably Roman aqueducts and bridges in Spain, something like 1900 years old! In our area, Madison WI, there are Native American effigy mounds; the internet tells me those are about 1,000 years old. There are some Roman coins and things downtown at the art museum also.
