Very old people

[CapnAwesome]

If I have my choice of believible options, A. that someone has lived 20 years longer then what we have definitely verified or B. That indonesian recordkeeping in the 1800's (or the memory of a 110 year old man) might not be accurate. I'm going to go with option B.

Somewhere, Keith Richards is chuckling quietly to himself.

He's a youngster in comparison.

It's bullshit. Here's a picture of the same dude just a couple of years ago.



Smoking ages you.

If I ever get to be that old, kill me.

So one of the trending news is that in Indonesia there is Mbah Gotho, who is apparently 145 years old and has documents that says he was born in 1870.

Which reminds me of Li-Ching-Yuen and his spirted life story of not only living supposedly 256 years but also being very persistent in getting married since when he finally died he was outlived by his widow that was his 24th wife. I mean I don't know which is more outrageous living 256 years or getting married 24 times! Tell me!!

And yes Li-Ching-Yuen is rather considered a hoax since it's impossible to prove his real date of birth so that serious scientific consensus be satisfied; but should living long like that be such a big deal since modern science says that humans are apparently built to live 200 years but they poison themselves? Which gives more credibility to Li-Ching-Yuen as a herbalist and devotee to healthy life then Mbah Gotho who still smokes.

I spy bullshit.  To say it may be possible according to some never tested theory is a far cry from saying it is the standard we are designed to achieve.

Lemme tell ya.... old ain't what its cracked up to be.

Growing old ain't for wusses, even a relative youngster such as myself has learnt that, the hard way.

That moment when you realise there are people out there technically old enough to be Min's grandparents...

Such things must not be pondered by mankind
