That is a very positive way to say "the oldest person in the world died"

I was just watching this show on Netflix Live to 100: Secrets of the Blue Zones where they visit villages where there are many so called Centenarians and they look at the different studies which try to figure out why so many people in those areas live that long. It's quite interesting. But you can see that very fiew of them are men, it's mostly women who they can interview.

“You either live long or you live short, and you can’t do much about it,”

Smart man

The idea of being alive at that age is mad. He'll have likely retired at 60-65, and has been retired for as long as he's been working. He's also likely been thinking for the last 40 years that he's in his twilight years.

Jeez....

Who died and gave him that title?

He killed off all the others?

/s

Seems like that award is cursed

He doesn't look a day over 110.

He looks pretty good for being the world’s oldest man

He doesn't know half of us, half as well as he would like - and he likes half of us, half as well as we deserve.

That's nothing my grandma was born the same year. But she already died. That must be some feeling to know that every human bourn that same year you were bourn is now gone.

For all those people who don't want to have to open the article to find out, he was born on August 26, 1912.

If he was American we'd have to elect him to be President or at least to the Senate.

He put the work in, and after a lot of persistence and effort he claimed the title. Asked if he'd be back to defend his title, he announced he would be retiring, saying "it's a young man's game"

His heart will go on.
