  • Jesus Christ this guy is old!

    The UK's oldest man just celibrated his 110th birthday. What's more he's a WW1 (yes one not two) pilot! An actual WW1 vet who's still kicking.

    Well he wasnt a pilot, he was a mechanic, which helps explain how he survived the war.

    But props to him... still chugging along.

        Yes... about as many as you'll find with Kyphoscoliosis.

          I read the title as meaning:
          This guy, Jesus Christ, is old!

            Not really, he died at his 30's, abouts.

                  The oldest person know died at 122: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeanne_Calment . She took care of herself until she was 110 , but she was very expensive to one person :

                  In 1965, aged 90, with no living heirs, Jeanne Calment signed a deal, common in France, to sell her condominium apartment en viager to lawyer François Raffray. Raffray, then aged 47, agreed to pay a monthly sum until she died, an agreement sometimes called a "reverse mortgage". At the time of the deal the value of the apartment was equal to ten years of payments. Unfortunately for Raffray, not only did she survive more than thirty years, but he died first, in December 1995, of cancer, at the age of 77. His widow had to continue the payments.
