The world's oldest man, a gin rummy-playing, one-time sugarcane worker born in Spain, has died at 112 in New York state, a funeral home said on Saturday.
Salustiano "Shorty" Sanchez, recognized by Guinness World Records as the world's oldest man, died on Friday at a nursing home in Grand Island, New York, the M.J. Colucci & Son Funeral Chapels said on its website.
Guinness said in June that Sanchez, who also had been a construction worker, was the oldest man following the death of 116-year-old Jiroemon Kimura of Japan.
...
With his death, the world's oldest man is Arturo Licata of Italy at 111, and the oldest woman is Misao Okawa of Japan at 115, according to the Gerontology Research Group, which tracks people 110 and older and validates ages for Guinness.
The greatest authenticated age for any human is 122 years, 164 days by Jeanne Louise Calment of France.
>50 ?
I highly doubt that man is a day over 80yo. Someone mentioned the English man a couple centuries who claimed to be older. It turned out he just "assumed" his grandfather's identity.
Anyway, 123yo is pretty old. I think I'd be anxious to meet the good Lord by then. If I make it to 80yo in good health, I'd be satisfied.

You are probably referring to Thomas Parr. Please cite your proof that he assumed his grandfather's identity.

"While Parr was undeniably old, the scenario sometimes posited is a confusion (deliberate or no) of this Parr's birth record with that of his grandfather."

And 13, 640 views for this thread(!). Truly, this is Poche's magnum opus of Yahoo News human interest fluff piece copy-and-pastery.
Also, Poche has 10,519 posts on FE (not to mention a much more receptive audience), 1,904 on SD, and a measly 331 on CAF.
20,000+ posts across (at least) four forums. That's ten times what I've managed to churn out in nearly the same amount of time (and, believe me, I think I post far more frequently than I should).
And people think I'm joking when I suggest that Poche is either independently wealthy, or else he is paid to post on internet forums...

That I did.
So how much are you being paid to do this?
A herb harvested from Shepton Mallet increases health and life span. An ancient esoteric learned people from that broader land tried to keep it for themselves. Their trickster ways continues today.
Wonder if fried chicken and Colt 45 is good for longevity?
We read that the oldest woman in the world, Susannah Mushatt Jones, age 116, eats four strips of bacon every morning. This, coupled with a June report that supercentenarian Agnes Fenton, age 110, credits her age to three bottles of Miller Light everyday made us realize that we might consider changing some things up. Maybe we should be eating less kale and quinoa and more whiskey and ice cream.
