Arks

I should add a note somewhere about arks and why they often aren't considered methuselahs even though they take a LONG time to stabilize. I'll do that after I add the ark article. Nathaniel 16:18, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

Don't know if this is known, but arks are puffers, and puffers are not considered methuselahs, since they don't stabilize in the normal sense. FractalFusion 06:04, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

Higg

I've reverted the edit about the higg methuselah, because it isn't notable. It surely isn't newly discovered as computer searches have enumerated all patterns with less than 20 or so cells within small (<= 6x6 or so) bounding boxes. Nathaniel 04:28, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
