How would you like to be 145 years old?

Kind of depressing reading about the reality of it.

I gotta call bs on that shit. I would have rolled my ass off a bridge way before 130.

I agree. No way he is that old.

I'm not calling him a fraud because I'm sure you forget a lot when your that old. There's still a decent chance that he's the oldest or one of the top 10 oldest in the world.

But if he were really 145, the worlds geneticist would be all over him because his DNA would be a freak of nature.

Can't you just cut him open and count the rings?

"my grand children are independent"

Mother fucker, they should be dead too!

[Scott Mc]

I was wondering that too, maybe he was meaning descendants.

And fuck that.

Interested to see indepent verification of age. So far indications are his birth was documented. 100 to 110 is more and more common these days and people have been verified up to 122 years old. 145 is not too far of a stretch past that if you consider healthy lifestyles amd good genes. If verified a documentary would be damn interesting.

There are all sorts of other "freaks of nature" in this world, him being the only one doesn't preclude the possibility that it's the truth. Pretty crazy to consider conjoined twins, face transplants, 11 toes, etc., in my mind not dying for a little extra while seems a lot more plausible.

Pretty much, all the more reason geneticists are going to want to get their hands on his DNA.

Not really.
