married men will tell you it feels like they have lived that long.

eqtworld: /amazing I can't imagine being that old, he was old enough to be retired during WWII

Only if he retired at 54, which is how old he would have been in 1945.

Still amazing to have seen that much history.

"another world's oldest person dies?" that title is some sort of killer curse!

Old people die. Non-story.

That's thing about being the world's oldest person.

There's always some youngin' of 115, just waiting in the wings, looking to make a name for himself, and take your title.

I think the world's oldest person is still alive...

Such a shame... cut down in the prime of his life.

The best thing about the whole "oldest person in the world" thing is that we'll never run out of them.

my granddad is 95, still works a couple days a week and plays golf a few times a week. It's freaking amazing. His mom died at 102.

Actually, all the studies I have seen generally suggest that being married makes you live longer.

 
gimmechocolate 2007-12-16 08:54:54 PM  
The old man, he never did marry,
So he lived to be old -- oh, yeah, and very!
Let this me your rule, girls,
Hang on to your pearls.
And never, no never give up your cherry!

You women sure do like to nag a lot.

 
aerojockey [TotalFark] 2007-12-16 09:30:59 PM  
That works as you as you don't develop any weird moles that your woman, had you had one, would have nagged you to see a doctor about, because you never would have gone on your own.

Let's see:

never married
Eastern European
100+ years

That adds up to a LOT of hookers and blow.

Maybe the world's second oldest person killed him, to claim the title.

Well he was living proof that women are just bad for men. They lure you with sex, and only a few can resist.

Lack of a spouse is the leading cause of infant death.

 
rjShadow [TotalFark] 2007-12-16 11:08:06 PM  
If i was 116, it would be the year 2100. That really makes you think.

This guy has been around for some of the biggest atrocities and some of the most amazing advancements in human existence. Gratz dude. What a life, truly.

 
whammer 2007-12-16 11:11:42 PM  
This is B.S. I know a guy who is 118 years old. He says the secret of his long life is for nobody to know how old he is.

Whoops.

I KNEW it! Any time there's been more than one toothbrush in my bathroom, there's been trouble on the way. Love women, tolerate children, as long as they eventually go home.

 
picturescrazy 2007-12-16 11:45:11 PM  
The bad thing about this line to be the world's oldest person is that it takes so long that most people drop out before reaching the end. The good part is no one can cut in front of you.

 
Xenu's Giant Pink Replicock 2007-12-16 11:52:33 PM  
Dies? Like, every time he reaches 116 he kicks it? Is this something he does routinely, like as a circus act?

This should be past tense, just like the dead dude. I'll continue complaining about it until people change or I'm likewise late. Late as in The Late Xenu's Giant Pink Replicock.

/It was a threat you see
